Suitable Pump

[alan3513]

Hi, Just got two 18 x 12 x 15 tanks which i intend to stock with corys and small tetras. I will have a sponge filter in each tank. Would i need an air pump for each or can i use one pump which i can add some sort of t-piece to the hose to feed both tanks. If so, i have been looking at Rena air pumps, any ideas what one of their pumps would be able to supply both tanks, thanks in advance for any advice, Alan

Hi Alan, most of the larger air pumps come with two outlets as standard so that should cover both tanks.

With something like this for example you could run multiple airstones in each tank simply by using a t-piece or two
air pump
