Tetra Tec Air Pump

[mark4880]

I brought a new tetratec air pump yesterday from the range only £9.99 and OMG its so quiet I can't tell you. It's been running all night and I turned the Tele off and you can hardly hear it. Thought is mention if anyone is looking to get one. .

Which pump did you buy ??

I've been looking at the Tetra Tec APS300 for my tank but as It's going in the front room I would prefer to be as quite as possible, if not this particular pump does anybody else have any suggestions ??

I brought the small one the aps50, and I think its very quiet. The only noise I can hear is the filter on the tank not the air pump. So id say get one their great.

If its only going to run a air stone or curtain you can prob get away with the 100 which should make less noise, the reason they are still rated for tank volume for under gravel filters.

I have the aps300 and it's the quietest air pump ive ever owned.

I've read a few quality issues with the tetra's using google.

I think amazon have reviews as well.

I've never had any issues with them.
I've had the 150 and the 300 with no problems at all.

It is only going to run a bubble bar but it's a tall tank would I be ok with the 100 then ??
