Review on 🐠 Penn Plax PEN-019 Air Pod Aquarium Air Pump - Power Outage Auto On, Ensures Fish Safety, 55 Gallon Capacity by Leah Ramirez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

With one set of batteries it lasted almost 4 days.

I had to transport aquariums and fish over rough terrain (over 2500 miles). Three coolers were ventilated with this air pump; 10 gallon, 15 gallon and 40 gallon. There are two nipples to which a hose can be connected. I had to use a T-joint on a pipe so I could get airstones in all three coolers. Airflow wasn't very strong on one of those passes, but I'm glad I can't report any casualties :) Battery usage is good too. My trip lasted more than 3 days with the pump running at maximum power all the time. I took extra batteries with me just in case, but they weren't needed. Arrived at the destination, I had to rebuild all the aquariums and leave everything as it is. I continued to use the air pump and the batteries still worked. I actually did a few small water changes on the coolers while waiting to help with ammonia build up and help the fish acclimate to the new water conditions. I literally ran the pump non stop for almost 4 days and the D battery lasted the whole time.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some difficulties
