    Air pump needed

    hi guys.

    just fired up my pond and the air pump that i got (cheap Chinese unit) is not good and barely coping with supplying the bd let alone the moving bed as well. therefore i am in the lookout for a replacement.

    has anyone got an air pump they want to move on? anything 80 lpm and up.

    Thanks in advance.

    Funnily enough I actually just ordered one last night was looking arround and thought it was worth a punt.
    Out of interest what lph did you get?
    I got the 100lph to run spindrifter and moving bed

    same i got the PA100,too powerful just for spindrifter,so you should be good for what you want it for,i take it you have a valve to direct flow to each of bd and bio chamber,i only got it if im honest whilst i order parts i need for my hiblow 80 i had on nexus before,but i dont think im going to rush getting them now,doing a great job so far,andi

    Ya I have a few valves to control the flow. The cheap one I have at the min states it's 80lpm but it can barely run the bottom drain let alone both so hopefully it will be a bit of an upgrade

    i have just received the pump and turned it on.
    wow what a difference.

    the last ump was meant to be 80lpm and this 100lpm but this easily runs the bottom drain and the moving bed filter.
    if this lasts time then it will be a very good buy for the price
