My new (quiet!) fits pump

. Easily handles 3 large air vents, even 4 have a good flow. The power adjustment makes it perfect, even for single stones. Very quiet, I have it on a thin rubber gasket, but I don't think it's particularly needed.

Pros
  • . Best is
Cons
  • . I'll add later.

Nice little pump! for aquarium pumps and filters

It worked great in my (x3) 5 gallon bucket DWC paired with 4" Airstone rims, 1 per bucket. The pump automatically throttles if you accidentally step on the hose, kink it, or pinch it from back pressure .protects the pump from unnecessary stress Make sure your air lines are the same length for the same pressure!

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • weak

Does the trick but could be improved.

Decent value. Good performance and 4 sockets for compact space utilization. The block will get HOT, so be careful where you place it. Hot enough that the rubber feet on it will melt a bit and mark the shelf it's on. For this reason I decided to put it on a stone stand. The hoses also get hot and the pressure can knock the hose out of the outlet if it is not properly attached. I use small zip ties to keep the tubing from coming loose. Otherwise it does what it is supposed to do for the money.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Reliability
