Air

[Rorie]

I have an Elite air pump for my aquarium, but its really noisy!

My 360L aquarium does not seem to have much air in it as i keep the outlet from the filter below the water (to keep noise down).

So, is there a decent air pump which is quiet to put some extra oxygen into my aquarium?

A note that may be useful is that i am away to put in a co2 system....so will i even need to add an air system? I realise they are different things, of course.

I have an elite air pump and it was quite noisy to start with but I fiddled with it a bit, moving it around and its really quiet now.
It was just vibrating on the side of the cupboard.

Well my one had two air outputs, so i ended up buying something like 10m of pipe for the air from the second outlet to flow out of, as even the pipe vibrations made a fair bit of a noise.

I then put the actual pump on some extra carpet to try to get rid of the vibrating noise, but still no better

not unless you exhale into the air pump intake
