I'm looking into upgrading my multiple air pumps and getting one that can supply air to multiple tanks in my fish room. I need one that can run 20 - 30 sponge filters. I have been trying to research, but can't find any reviews. I'm thinking the Coralife Luft or Super Luft. Anyone using one of these? Or if you know of a decent - mid range price one, please advise. :)
 
i use the wisper 100, its pretty nice but it runs only 12 filter
 
My Alita AL-40 has been working nicely for me for a couple months continuously now, supplying about 10 outlets, with lots of power to spare. I have a couple of bleeders on it actually, and it's dialed way down at each filter. Was about 150 too. Nice and quiet.
 
I know the Alita ones are suppose to be awesome, but kinda out of my budget range. I'm looking for a mid range, quiet yet decently powerful air pump. Just wondering what most people are using. I'd like to keep it under $100 if possible.
 
LOL! After much debating and reading, I'm now considering these 2 pumps. Dolphin AV-50 (which is about $80) and Jehmco LPH26 (which is about $200). I know I said I didn't want to spend over $100, looks like almost impossible for that when looking for a good solid air pump that gives enough air for 20 - 30 sponges and is relatively quiet. Does anyone have experience with either of these 2 pumps? How is the noise level like?
 
OK, since so far, recommendations have been for alita, I will probably look into purchasing this. Does this unit come with the L-tube & clamps or would it be something that I have to purchase separate? How is yours set up?
