Suggestions for Linear Air Pump

[lorne8303]

Hello,
Any suggestions for a Linear Air Pump to run 10 - 40 Gal Breeder Tanks. I had an Alita AL40 years ago and it was pretty good, but I want to know others experiences with other kinds.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Lorne

Is noise a concern? With 10-20 devices, you could probably get away with a smaller (and much cheaper) diaphragm pump.

I think mine is an Alita AL-60. Love it.

I don't know why you are considering anything else than an Alita. Dude. Please.

Jehmco has linear pumps to check out. I have one that pumps air just for my 6' resevoir.

i have both an alita and a jehmco. I use an AL 80 to power my fishroom, no complaints at all about the pump. Its been running like a champ since the day I installed it a few years ago.


I picked up Ali's jehmco from him, where he had built a box and was keepign it outside (nice for noise reduction). its this:
