Air Pumps

I have a 65 gal tall (36") corner aquarium.
I want to feed 4-6 air stones.
What air pump do you recommend?
Thanks

Alita

But, be forewarned, they aren't cheap air pumps but they will handle 6 airstones easily.
Is this in a FW tank? Or, why do you want airstones in a SW tank?

And, welcome to TRT.

I'd also ask why you want to run airstones if this is a salt water tank.

Airstones

It's a freshwater tank.

The alita pumps will definitely do what you want to do but they aren't cheap. Its one of those "you get what you pay for" things where you pay good money for a good product. You can go to Petsmart and get the dual Whisper air pumps that will run 2 airstones and it would take 3 but you would come out cheaper on initial cost .
