Air Pumps & Aquarium Aeration





The choice of air pump depends on the purpose you are going to use the pump for. Generally air pumps are used for:
 1) Ornamental Purpose like turning valves, spinning wheels, lifting things, creating artificial underwater waterfall etc.
2) Air stones in the tank which generate bubbles or give off a fine mist of air.
3) Some filters, such as corner filters and under gravel filters are driven by air and would require an air pump.
4) Some underwater habitats for semi-aquatic animals, such as Newts, Crabs, Mudskippers, and some Frogs or Shrimp also require an air pump to keep fresh air circulating into the enclosure so that these animals do not crawl out into an unaerated environment.
5) Air pumps can also be used to create a current in the water, to prevent parts of the tank from becoming stagnant.
 6) Air pumps are required for some types of protein skimmers to operate in marine tanks. Two of the key features of any kind of air pump is to increase the surface area and improve circulation. The size of the air pump you need depends on the number of things you run on the air pump. If your tank is deep, you will need a special deep water air pump. Air pumps of different sizes and features, from best manufacturers across the globe, suiting all your requirements is available with us.

Please note that Air pumps should be kept always above the water level. Otherwise use good quality Non return valves. Otherwise reverse air can suck water into the air pump and can cause damage and chances of electric shock are there. 
Two purposes are accomplished by installing an Air pump in your aquarium, Decoration and Aeration. But for the delivery of proper performance and attractive looks, these air pumps need to be complimented with Air Pump Accessories. This ensures proper bubble generation by the air pump. The most common accessories which are highly essential include Air Tubes, Air Stones, Air Controllers, Air Tube Joints and Air Non-Return Valves. The air bubbles which burst on the surface of the water increases the dissolved in oxygen in the water at the same time reduce the proportions of unwanted gases in the aquarium water while making it look more Decorative. The air pump and its accessories are necessary when you do not have sufficient water surface movement in your aquarium. The more fish you have, the more oxygen is needed. The higher temperature your aquarium water is at, the more water movement you need in order to maintain the same oxygen level in the water. Hence chose the correct air pump accessories for your aquarium. All kinds of Air Pump Accessories from the best manufacturers across globe is available here.
