Which air pump

[Munroco]

I'm planning on setting up a small rack with 6 10 gal tanks. Going to use Hamburg-matten filters. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced air pump that will handle this load?

I have the 4 outlet version and I use splitters on all 4 of the outlets and I still get crazy air flow. Massive dial to control flow. Not loud.

Ohhhh..... looks like you are up to something good!

I've heard a lot of good things about the HMF's.

I would suggest contacting JEHMCO - there staff is fantastic and they can suggest the appropriate pump for your set up.

WHOOPS - after posting I just realized you are in GB, not sure if jehmco would work... but they still might offer suggestions.

Thanks for these suggestions.

Jehmco don't appear to be available in UK as far as I can see.
Active aqua are available but very expensive. Amazon don't carry them and Ebay choices are shipped from USA with huge shipping costs but I do like the look of them and the specs.
The Hailea range look like big ugly brutes, but I'm ok with that. They seem to have loads of power, far more than I'll need at first.

This is going to be a set up for Caridinia shrimp so I don't need a huge flow, but better too much than too little, I can always set up a blank airline to bleed some of that power off. I do have space to squeeze in more tanks but I've decided to leave these negotiations till after I have my first lot set up.

Let us know what you order.

I've put the hailea on my note to Santa. Now just got to wait and see
