I am setting up 3 breeding tanks with 3 ATI Hydro 2 sponge filters and need to what you folks would recomend for an air pump. The tanks will consist of 2 10's and 1 20 long. Pump will be located within a couple feet of all 3 tanks. Would do you use or suggest?
 
Just about any name brand pump recommended for a 50 gallon and up tank would probably suffice. However, if you can afford to spend a little more, I would recommend a Luft pump. They last a long time, you can control the flow, and it gives you the capacity to run more many filters down the road.
Here is some info.

for that many tanks, id go with something powerful like a whisper 60 or even 100. you might be able to get away with a whisper 40, but id go with the whisper 60 just to be sure.
