How long should the aquarium air pump be on?****
Generally speaking, you should leave the air pump on all the time to help your fish get good water circulation and plenty of oxygen to breathe.
Can an aquarium air pump be too strong?****
An air pump that is too powerful can wreak havoc in your aquarium. When attached to a sponge filter, it can cause a current strong enough to stress fish that prefer calm water. Or, maybe it’s causing your airstone to work overtime, producing so many bubbles that you can’t see your fish.
Do I need to turn on the air pump in the aquarium?****
While air pumps are not always necessary, there are very few circumstances where they would not be beneficial to a tank. Some species of fish, such as bettas, prefer still water, and the presence of an air pump can agitate them. In most cases, however, air pumps benefit fish by allowing them more oxygen to breathe.
Why do aquariums need air pumps?****
An air pump simply bubbles air through your tank. Air pumps serve two purposes. First, they insure that your tank maintains an adequate concentration of oxygen. An air pump is NOT required for this purpose, as long as your tank maintains adequate water movement together with surface agitation.
How much pressure is in an aquarium air pump?****
You will need air pressure of at least 50 inches H2O. This is equal to about 2 psi. Regenerative blower-type compressors are preferred in the aquaculture industry because they are the most reliable and economical in this pressure range.
Are aquarium air pumps noisy?****
The air pump itself isn’t waterproof and needs to be placed below the aquarium in a spot well away from water. Since they’re naturally vibratory by nature, some noise is inevitable, but keeping it inside your aquarium cabinet can help muffle the sound if you have a quiet room or very good hearing.
Can an aquarium air pump get wet?****
The air pump sits on the outside of your aquarium, delivering air through a long hose called airline tubing. Because of this, air pumps are not water- proof and care must be taken not to get them wet. It is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Is it OK to turn off the aquarium air pump at night?****
Generally, fish should be able to sleep without being bothered by bubbles or water agitation created by air pumps. Besides, if you want, you can turn off your air pump at night, but make sure the filter continues to run, so it fulfills the required aeration in the aquarium.
How do I choose an aquarium air pump?****
For best results, choose an air pump rated one tank size larger than your tank. Air pumps with medium to high pressure are designed to work at a substantial depth also power under gravel filters. Foam and corner filters and some ornaments are run by small, low-pressure air pumps.
