"Much quieter than expected."

— Scherry

"I have a 10 gallon tank and this pump is for a 20 gallon. I got this pump because I have an undergravel system as well as 2 bubble makers. This pump barely works for the undergravel system and will not work at all for the bubblers! I'm going to have to replace it with something better from my local ..."

Bottom Line

The Seapora Air Plex Aquarium Air Pump value is questionable, especially given both noise level and longevity concerns. Suitable for smaller tanks if just for undergravel systems.
