How to Silence Noisy Aquarium Air Pumps

[@godspeedjourneys2661]

Of all the long winded, badly made videos out there, yours was the most to the point, clean and straight forward piece of advice. Thank you a million times!

I just bought a 3M command swivel hook to hang my air pump under my fish tank stand. Works perfectly, looks nice and neat and quiet.

Straight to the point. Useful video. Tons of them will have 10mins video, teaching you how to xxxx. They have 6mins keep repeating the title, 2mins irrelevant talks, only one mins real info but incomplete info. And one mins for saying good bye subscribe like and share...

Great idea! Mines is sooo loud. Quite a big pump so might need like a small storage container... Will give it a try

[@interiorecology]

Happy to help! One thing I forgot to mention in the video is if you use the cheap airline tubing it will likely kink at the air pump output. Silicone tubing is much better for this.

Thanks!

My pleasure!

I can still hear it!

[@interiorecology]

Darn, maybe you have an extra noisy pump.

Some stuff cotton wall inside Whisper pumps great for over heating & fires lmfao anytime you do this type of set up make sure they can't over heat they need air

[@interiorecology]

Good that you have safety in mind. Refer to other comments where I address this already.

OMG! 0.05db reduction! Frankly...

[@interiorecology]

I'm not totally sure what you are saying, but if you can't hear the noise reduction it's because the microphone doesn't capture it.

[@nipunagunarathne4882]

Doesn't it get hot?

[@interiorecology]

Not really. It's been running a long time now without issue. I imagine the air it's pumping out of the container pulls cool air into the container.

@@interiorecology makes sense

[@mercurym-7904]

@@interiorecology doesn’t the filter on the air pump need airflow so the air pump doesn’t overheat?

[@interiorecology]

​@@mercurym-7904 If you mean the sponge filter then yes, there should be some degree of flow. I can't say how much is needed, all I can say is I ran mine at reduced flow for several months without issue.
