AQUARIUM AIR PUMP ITEMS
A huge range of quality aquarium air pump items are available here for your fish tank set up.
Aquarium air pump items are a cost effective (cheap to run) component of most fish tank aquariums. Aquarium air pump items are a tried and proven method of creating water movement through air operated filters or through the body of water in the fish tank. This is achieved by utilising the aquarium air pump hooked up to an air stone or similar type of air diffuser via some airline and getting the aquarium air pump to push air through producing a stream of bubbles. The rising column of bubbles will create a circular current in the water giving an affect which allows the absorption of vital oxygen into the water. Without this movement created by the aquarium air pump the friendly bacteria will die causing a build up of poisonous ammonia. Without the aquarium air pump providing water movement Carbon dioxide will also build up.
Aquarium air pump items provide the movement required through internal sponge filters allowing the growth of a friendly bacterial culture which consumes and converts nasties such as ammonia into less harmful Nitrates. Sponge filters coupled with an aquarium air pump are ideal for smaller tanks up to 12 gallons. Aquarium air pump items used with a sponge filter are very small fish/fry friendly by not allowing these little guys to get sucked up in other filters as they are prone to do.
Under gravel type filters are also run via the utilisation of an aquarium air pump. The action of the aquarium air pump creats a current and the friendly bacteria grows in the gravel substrate.
Aquarium air pump items come in a range of sizes, capacities and types. The smallest and cheapest type aquarium air pump are the rubber diaphram type. These are ideal for use on your small fish tank setups running one or two items such as an air stone or box filter.
The next size aquarium air pump items are also diaphram type but these aquarium air pump items feature twin diaphrams and multiple outlets.
Above that is your Linear type aquarium air pump which will suit the serious fish keeper with multiple outlet requirements.
Another large capacity type of aquarium air pump is the blower type. These blower type of aquarium air pump items will suit high volume requirement applications such as large fish rooms and fish farms.
