Hello. Excellent choice. I have a smaller version of this pump and it can easily run the sponge filters for two 55 gallon tanks at once.
Magnum. Yes. A more powerful air pump is going to be louder. The pump is packaged in styrofoam. So, I just set the pump on top of a piece of the styrofoam and it's a bit quieter. I use one of these in my outside trough tank to run my aeration equipment and it works great even when it's cold outside. This is by far the best air pump I've use in all my years in the "water keeping" hobby.actually that is the "type" of valve that comes with the pump, so I won't be buying one separately ( wish I would have seen that style before I bought a traditional smaller manifold tube gang valve for my aquarium room in the basement ).. that post was mostly for the benefit of Colin to show that it uses bigger 8mm air line, & has a manifold tube bigger than the outlet valves for greater efficiency
@tanks... since you have used this type of pump... are they much louder than a traditional diaphragm pump??? it won't matter in my case, since that will be used outside, on my Tilapia aquaculture tanks
