    its a 20long. the lower filming angle probably makes it look bigger

    i didn't, i went with an Apump maxi air pump from the amazon. Its a dual outlet pump that i just combined and we'll see if it works for me. I'll be upping to a danner AP4 if its too low a flow but since the spout is in the water it seems like this may be okay.

    So i ended up buying a dual outlet pump just like the one i was looking at, so its very small and not much air flow. i have the output of the jetlifter still in the water around halfway so the bubbles themselves dont have to do much to get it flowing. it seems to doing decent output, not much but i wasn't really looking for much since its for shrimp and CPD. what do you guys think? The output is also pointing towards the back left corner and the grass gets a bit of movement from the circular flow it gets tank2.mp4

    I will be getting some shrimp and fish this weekend, it'll be the first time i get any shrimp and this type of fish and so i want to make sure i have things right. I made a google docs with the params that i thiiiink each species needs, though sources don't always agree, and what my params currently are from aged tap water. From what i understand, my params seem to be okay, but i just want to run it by you guys first. The params were grabbed from water in buckets, not the actual tank. the tank has a dwarf hairgrass carpet and will have some fissidens and java moss, so i dont know how that may effect the final parameters. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks again for the replies, and math. my jetlifter is actually a medium(i'm canadian and the kit i got was an 8in medium jetlifter with 30ppi foam) but i see that the swisstropicals website has info about the gph requirements for the jetlifters. The phantom says it supplies only 8gph of air so that in itself is too low unless the flow required for shrimp is that much less. i was looking at the AP-4 and it seems to be around $31 here in canada. i'm mainly looking for something really really quiet. does the AP-4 seem pretty quiet compared to other air pumps of that price range?

    thanks for the advice guys. i may end up getting this pump and if it doesn't work out just grab a different one from amazon. unless someone has actual experience with using HMF filters with very low output airpumps

    Hi, i have a 20g long tank and have a swisstropicals HMF filter on it. i haven't set up the tank yet(checking to see if its good, bought it used) and i will have to also get an air pump for the filter. I was planning on getting this one : but noticed the air pump is kinda weak. I dont know the requirements for an HMF filter but is this strong enough? it will be for my future shrimp and possibly some celestial pearl danios or chili rasboras but i'm worried that the air wont even be strong enough to lift the water up the tube. any help would be greatly appreciated.
