Was cool to get a sneak peak of your new fish room! It will be awesome when you do your videos from there!

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, yeah I'm getting ready to get a lot more fish!

[@michaelwells3635]

I was going to buy this pump before I saw your video. That pump is extremely loud. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@MASSAquariums]

Wow that thing is super loud. I couldn't deal with that at all bro. By the way nice fish room. Looks like you have enough stands for plenty of tanks. Right on bro

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, yeah so far I have space for about 8 large tanks!

Thanks Slashmaster!

I just got one of these today! Great review btw. I'm going to use mine to kick on few a few seconds every few hours to turn over sand substrate to avoid anaerobic bacteria buildup.

[@dwsdarius]

Thank you! Powerful...I just couldn't stand the noise

[@svtcontour]

I bet. It IS really loud :) Thankfully for me, I'm using it to just blip on and off for a few seconds multiple times a day so when I do hear it, its off again by the time I'm like what was that noise :)

Looks like ecoplus commercial air u sure it's not twin company?

[@89Foxbody]

Did you have it running tanks? I have a similar pump in my bedroom and don't find it too loud. I had it running 7 tanks and could barely hear it. Nownits running 2 and a little louder but but doesn't bother me.

[@dwsdarius]

That's the thing, I've only tried it on 2 tanks...I've heard a lot of people say how the more tanks the quieter! So I guess its just me being impatient...:(

[@cichlidjunkie7179]

Have a similar pump..have a question.. So I turned my pump off and water came thru my air stones y is that? Then u turned it back on and it ran for like 5 minuets and burned out

[@dwsdarius]

That's why people use check valves....the air is consistently blowing into the tank, and when you turn it off, all of the air in the line has to escape, and usually the best way out is the opposite direction ( back to the pump because most air pumps are positioned below the tank tank) and that force causes water to be pulled with it!

[@trhoward7]

Negative pressure pulled water out of your tank and into your pumps motor, which will cause it to burn out.

Hi, i just received this pump SL-65 from amazon.ca and its not very strong, doesnt have a big flow, is there a trick to trigger a stronger flow of air ? it doesnt push my skin on my hands like other have, i can open it maybe and add or tweak something ?

[@dwsdarius]

Hello, based on the one I had there is really no direct way to adjust the flow, it should blow strong enough to move your skin. If its possible I would recommend returning it and maybe get another because maybe that specific machine isn't any good!

[@randalldavis6934]

Once you connect you're tubing to you're tanks it calms wayyyy down brother

[@trhoward7]

Good review. About how much was that pump?

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, I paid about $65

[@kg2nc]

The more filters you have connected to it the quieter it will be. I know it will be quieter but don't know if it will be quieter for you. Maybe you can exchange it for a piston pump.

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks Ruben, I was thinking about just keeping individual small pumps so that I don't ever have to worry about my main pump breaking, and having no air for all of my tanks!

[@kg2nc]

dwsdarius I know what you mean it's always a good idea to have a spare just in case. It don't have to be as good but to do the job until you can replace it. I use to work in the machine shop as a tool and die maker's helper and I made a piston pump 30+ years ago. It was very quiet after I got the moving parts balance. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

[@Hasibur_Rahman_Hasib]

How much???

[@dwsdarius]

$65

[@Hasibur_Rahman_Hasib]

@@dwsdarius can you send to Bangladesh?

[@catfishcave379]

It will be quieter if there are airlines hooked up to it, but a Tetra Whisper 40 it ain't. That kind of power doesn't come quietly. More on the fishroom!

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, yeah I figured if the air had more places to go it wouldn't roar as much!
