The media could not be loaded. Brand PawflySuper silentSize 10 gallonAirpumpUpdate: bought 10 gal pump but now have it sliced and one pump doing 55 gallon and 10 gallon tanks. So powerful I actually needed a valve to slow the air when I had it in the 55 gallon alone. Now I bought a second one for a tall 23 inch cylinder corner tank. The ten gallon air pump is running a back wall bubble stone creating a waterfall of bubbles in this 40 gallon. So, yes very powerful for a pump labeled 10 gallon. I suggest if you are using it on anything less that 30 gallons to get a valve to adjust the flow and not to blow out your fish : ). I love the small size. I replaced a very old pump that finally died on the 40 gallon and that pump was 3 x the size of this one. This has rubber feet and when placed correct makes VERY little noise. At one point I had one of these pumps aerating a 55 g, 20 g, and 1 gal all at once. So very strong. And again VERY quiet! The instruction were pictures only so being new to aquarium hobby I was a little intimidated setting up. But figured it out. I will always use this brand pump now! Pawfly.It comes with gereous amount of tube, one way calve, and stone. MAKE SURE you have you one way valve in correct direction or else the air will not flow. You will need to cut tube to add the one way valve. I have other tubes but this one is the best - not too stiff and not too soft! I am so impressed with this pump and kit! Cost on first one was about $16 for me 2023. The second purchase was on sale so I jumped on the offer!!!Original post: I like that it is small. Using in 5 gallon shrimp tank. Easy to set up. Had to cut the tube to insert backup valve but not a problem. Did not have that in instructions. Only picture instructions. VERY quiet when set up on rubber feet and just as long as tub near pump not up against something as it dies shake. It is not making any noise when set up correct. Pressure seems good. Using it with shrimp sponge filter.

They are kind of loud for their size but work well and priced good.

I purchased this compact air pump for my aquarium, and it has been a great addition. It’s surprisingly quiet. The pump provides consistent airflow, keeping the water well-oxygenated without disturbing the peace. It’s compact yet powerful, and the installation was straightforward. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain a healthy aquarium environment without the noise. Highly recommended!

Oh my I love this so much! It’s actually pretty quiet, very low and works wonderfully! This would be great in an even larger tank (compared to mine) but not for a tank that’s TOOO big. I was a bit confused at first on how to assemble as there were no instructions but I’ll try to break it down as best I can.1.) Cut the tubing into 2 equal parts2.) Attach one end of the tubing to the actual machine (there’s a little spot to connect the tubing, just squeeze it on there & make sure it fits snug)3.) Now you’ll be left with one tubing attached to the machine with an open end, on THAT open end- attach the red piece (there’s one way valve)4.) Now take your other tubing (the one with nothing attached) and attach one end to the red piece (the valve)5.) On the last part of the tubing, attach that open end to the pumice stone (that little grayish thingy) and set it in your tank.6.) Plug in your cord to an outlet and watch those bubbles! 🫧~ I recommend buying those suction cups to keep your tubes in place & not floating around in the tank.~ Also, I saw another review on here that said the tubing starts to disintegrate after a while, so the tubing in my photos is not the same! The regular tubing (I attached an image at the end) is the actual one that comes in this item. (Its a more cloudy color as compared to the clear one in my tank that’s I bought separately)Hope this helps! I know it was lengthy haha. But amazing purchase! Totally recommend!!UPDATED: This is my 2nd time buying! Very good purchase and I noticed they fixed the tubing… but unfortunately after only 2 weeks, I noticed the tubing starting to get cloudy and disintegrate… so buyer beware. Buy yourself another tubing that won’t gel up and get all mushy in your tank. (It’s the last image you can see the difference from the part of the tube that was in my tank and the part outside. And plus the texture changed also) Another thing to note is that when you place the tube in the air pump, make sure it’s on tightly because if not it’ll fall off… mine has fell off multiple times 😂however, on the same note- do not put it on TOOO tight because when you try to pull out the tube the whole entire air pump connector may break… which is what happened to me and is why I ordered a new one. Learn from my mistakes lol. Overall great purchase!

Works perfect, minimal sound

works well, strong bubbles, but it is kind of loud. if you can't handle a vibrating hum, don't buy. other than that, it's perfect
