Review on πŸŒ€ Advanced Deep Blue Professional ADB61037 Hurricane Category 5 AC/DC Air Pump with Battery Operation by Alvin Peoples

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great on my 50 gallons.

It is very beautiful. I've tried using this on two tanks and attaching a T-pipe extension but unfortunately it doesn't give the performance I need for the second tank. So I may have to buy another pump to run the other one. I use a sponge filter and a 50 gallon air vent and have tried running a 55 gallon air vent but there is not enough power to run a third air vent. But overall it has more power if you're just using it for airstones or a sponge filter in one tank, but pipe extensions aren't a good source to add to another tank. But maybe I'm missing something. I have this on an external tank and it's pretty quiet and works for the purpose I need my 50 gallon. UPDATE: So Hurricane Irma tested the performance of this pump. Unfortunately, when the power went out, it didn't switch to the battery. Luckily my dad got home before me (I was out of state) and was able to put some extra air pumps on the 50 gallons. I'm a little disappointed for the money I paid, it had to be switched to battery when there was no electricity. I went to change the battery, when I got home I unplugged it and left it on. The pump started in battery mode. So it could have been a malfunction but I could have lost my fish if we didn't catch it in time. I will update this review once I do more testing to see what happened.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Many things
