Review on NEXBERG Aquarium Air Pump: Mini Piezo Air Pump for Fish Tanks up to 13 gal - Super Quiet <35dB, Ultra Silent Nano Energy Saving 1W with Free Thermometer, Check Valve and More! by Ryan Gilliam

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Acceptably quiet, comfortable bubbles for smaller aquariums; easy to install

The kit contains everything you need to set up an air pump in a smaller aquarium install, I would say up to 8 gallons. This is the second I've bought as I have two 3 gallon tanks in my office and the self contained air pumps (the size of a computer mouse) are just too loud and reverberate like an idle tractor. Not this one! If, like me, you are sensitive to noise, I would recommend this little pump. I had no problems with the first one and had it for several years. IF you install the pump and it hangs below the water level BE SURE to install a valve to prevent water from entering the air pump. Instructions are included and there is one side you attach to the air pump flow and the other side goes to the air outlet. Not difficult! This air pump doesn't have a regulator to reduce airflow to the bubbler, but you don't need one. In my opinion, this is the ideal amount of air. I recommend and your fish will thank you!

Pros
  • ✅ HIGH EFFICIENCY AND ONLY 1W POWER CONSUMPTION - Don't let the size fool you, the tiny compact pump is perfect for aquariums up to 13 gallons - revolutionary piezoelectric technology delivers a flow rate of 12.7 oz/min overall times and reduces power consumption to 1W. In comparison, most air pumps on the market use between 1.8W and 5W.
Cons
  • not reliable
