Light and airpump for 8 ten gallon tanks?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for an airpump to pump air for airfilters to 8 10 gallon tanks with some left over in case i need other things ran. I also want little noise because this will be in my frontroom. I am also looking for a light that is about 48 inches to go over 4 ten gallon tanks that can grow low to medium plants.

Couldn't agree more.  I use the Beamswork LEDs on all of my tenners and have the Alita AL-15 running 6 tenners, 1 20L, and 2 lines into a 40B.  Ample leftover power to oxygenate water pre-change and for any QT/temp setups I need to run.  I'm running Finnex lights on the 40B and 20L.

 

The Alita is probably my best shrimping purchase to date.....that or my RO unit.

 

EDIT:  I run individual 18-inch Beamsworks LEDs on the tenners....

You could overdrive a 48" Fluorescent with a 4 bulb ballast wired to 2 bulbs for about a 50% increase in brightness.

You actually don't want to do that.

If you do, you'll have to create A LOT of extra values to bleed out air to prevent damage to airpump.

AL-15A should be more than enough for 8 ten gallon tanks.
