Air Pump Help

I have found the Interpet Nano Aquamini Aquarium Air Pump to be quite literally silent in operation. The air bubbles themselves of course make a noise. It is designed for tanks of this size and I am currently using it to run an air powered sponge filter on my Betta tank. I have also used it to prevent films from forming on the water surface in larger tanks and tobprovide filtration for hospital tanks.

Hi Matt,

I believe the above product uses a very clever way of generating a stream of air. Instead of the conventional diaphragm pump, some of the silent, ultra-compact air pumps use a vibrating piezoelectric element. That's why they are very quiet. Piezoelectric elements are used in microphones and buzzers. I have no personal experience of using these new air pumps so will be interested to hear how it continues to perform.

That's right... I've been using it on and off for about 4 years so id say it's performing pretty well!!

Hi Matt,

That's quite a recommendation!
