You can measure airflow very cheaply by holding a glass measuring cup upside down in your tank over your air stone. Just measure cups or milliliters per minute.
The amp draw 1.3 on Fuji Mac and 1.7 on the other. The Fuji Mac warranty is also way better as we had to deal with both manufacturers never actually had a issue with any Fuji 60 ever. You will notice the Fuji run cooler as well I would say it’s the coolest running unit on the market size for size. we are in a complete different market but the Fuji is an amazing unit.
I use Moving Blankets (harbor freight carries them cheap) for easy on the job sound treatment. Similar to sound blankets, but much cheaper. Another cool option is a bit DIY, but can be a little cooler and looks nicer. That's DIY Acoustic panels. You can make them out of used towels, and cover them with fabric (could even get custom fabric made if you really wanted, or just use some solid color or prints) and they work really well.
The constant hum of central pump systems can get annoying. The Fujimac was noticeably quieter and would be worth a few extra bucks a month to me. Thanks Zenzo and Happy New Year.
I am not at that level yet, I use smaller very quiet pumps, but one day I will need a larger capacity pump! Happy New Year to you and your ever patient wife Zenzo, you have given so much information over this last year that I feel I have to support you in Patreon so I feel better about using it. Take care and have the best decade ever!
Thanks for the info Zenzo, no worries on the talking too much, it’s not like you are talking to filling the time but I’ll rather hear your opinions and thoughts so I can make less mistakes. Hopefully one day I can setup my garage fish room.
If you didn’t talk how would I know about the new air pump? I watch your videos to learn. Fish videos are nice but I want to learn. 😊 So thank you for talking. 😊 You have been very informative. Again thank you.
just installed a Jehmco linear piston a couple months ago. got it for $180 and it is almost silent, the only think i hear in my fish room now is bubbles:) it's rated for around 25 tanks.
I can only find the 100ltr per hr. It says it runs on 45 watts. I found it on ebay. Way expensive though. Nearly $400 au. Thanks Zenzo. It looks a great air pump and over 1million have been sold.
Have a Happy New Year, Zenzo! Good luck to your Niners. Hope my Saints will meet them in the NFC Finals, where we’ll hopefully blank them for our second SB appearance! Who Dat!
Happy New Year Zenzo! You should have used a Jehmco Linear Piston Air Compressor. I've been running an LPH26 for a few years now and I can't even hear a hum, it's super quiet. Thanks for sharing the video! Isn't the watts listed on the pumps?
Hello can u please answer this comment? I just got a tank on Christmas I want to set it up but Ik u need to let bacteria grow and stuff. So what if I just used tap water put some cheap fish such as gold fish in there with the filter on for a month or two, then took out the gold fish. Would it be safe to start adding the fish I want for my 15 gallon aquarium?
Yes & no.... if you fill the tank with tap, you still want to wait a good 24/48 hours before adding anything living if you don't use some kind of water additive(s) to get that chlorine & fluoride out. Feeder fish are often used, but I always ask people what they plan to do with those feeders when they're done building up that bacteria in the tank. Yes, they'll survive most ponds & streams, but carp (like koi & goldfish) can quickly become an invasive species. Love em or hate em, it's just cruel to flush them & I'd rather hear a hungry iguana or paranah pack gobbled them up than that. Just my opinion. Your best bet, however, would be get a dirty sponge from a fellow fishkeeper that doesn't keep frogs or turtles due to salmonella risks (especially if you plan to keep frogs or turtles). You could always ask them to throw your sponge(s) in their filter system if they can't spare one. A day or two later, you got a good starter colony of bacteria. By then, your tap should be free of chlorine & fluoride. See how I connected those two there?😏Almost impressed myself for a sec...🤣
Check to see if your area uses chloramine instead of chlorine. Chloramine is becoming much more common in the U.S. and it will not gas off and disappear if left alone. You will need to use a dechlorinator.
I do have one question I plan on having about 4 tanks (29gal-75gal) in my living room what would the best and affordable air pump to use? I would like to just use one air pump for all the tanks. Yea I am switching to sponge filters?
Happy new year bro. Ive been looking for some kind of middle range punp. i run two box filters and a lif tube for flow in my 55 and i like a lot of power but need it to be quiet sense the tank is at the foot of my bed. this i think is more than i need but gives me another brand to look into. and have you thought about hooking up a flow meter inline with your PVC and a solenoid to that? could set it up where both pumps are connected to the airline and have the flow valve connected to the one that is currently in use. if the flow of air stops the solenoid kicks on the other pump automatically.

Happy New Year Ben!
If an air pump can be gorgeous that one sure shines! Sweet!
Keep us updated !! Thanks man
Happy New Year! Looking forward to your 2020 videos!
Amazons Article bought me here... 👍
Happy new year zenzo
Happy New Year Zenzo!!!
Happy New Year!
Check out the aquarium coop video on how to bring air to several tanks with one air pump. Great video zenzo!!!
I am not at that level yet, I use smaller very quiet pumps, but one day I will need a larger capacity pump!
Happy New Year to you and your ever patient wife Zenzo, you have given so much information over this last year that I feel I have to support you in Patreon so I feel better about using it.

Cool video! I just subscribed!
If your not using that old pump you can send it my way brotha!!! 😉😉😉😉😉👍🏾👍🏾
Nice air pump!! Go Niners!!!
You can tell by the tone different in two air pumps. Fuji . Haves smooth tone. Sounds better too
Go linear piston. The equivalent size is only like $200 and I promise it will be the best money you've ever spent on that fishroom.
I can only find the 100ltr per hr. It says it runs on 45 watts. I found it on ebay. Way expensive though. Nearly $400 au.

I know we tease you about the jibber jabber, but as always great vids and info
Have a Happy New Year, Zenzo! Good luck to your Niners. Hope my Saints will meet them in the NFC Finals, where we’ll hopefully blank them for our second SB appearance! Who Dat!
Lol!
What is the max volume of water for this size pump?
Have you tried Alita pumps? There very well made as well. I have the Alita 15 lpm air pump.
I believe the Jehmco is a copy of an Alita.

The watts isn’t listed on the Jehmco. Only on my FujiMac. Happy New Year!

Sorry for dat post didn't know what that was
Great review braddah Z HAUOLI MAKAHIKI HOU to u and the OHANA 🤙🏽🎉🎊🐠
Do you have a purge valve for you system?
I actually am now running a linear piston system. No purge valve needed.
I do have one question I plan on having about 4 tanks (29gal-75gal) in my living room what would the best and affordable air pump to use? I would like to just use one air pump for all the tanks. Yea I am switching to sponge filters?
Any decent air pump would be fine. Aqua Top is a good choice.
Thank you, and thank you for taking the time to reply

Happy New year 🎉 how do you calculate how much pump / air you need to run aquarium room? Rick
Hey zenzo what is your opinion on glofish? If you dont want to answer that is totally fine, lots of youtubers just want to stay out of that
Hi Brandon. I personally don't care for them, but if other people want to keep them, that is fine.
Acoustics? Talk to KG Tropicals.
LOL!
Definitely noticeable noise difference between the two pumps
“I need to put it down, it’s heavy.” - you should work out more.
Suggestion if you wish to quiet the “too much talking “ complainers: after you show the air pumps in the video; cut, and go to scene two... in YOUR chair!

🤣🤣🤣☠⚰⚱
👍
Is the pump made of metal or plastic?
It is cast aluminum with a baked paint finish
Bro, talk your talk. Personally, I'm here for the education. Another quality upload. Thank brother & happy new year!
Uno!
bro we know you pump, whatchu mean it's heavy
Dude, be you! It's why I watch your channel. If you are showing products and don't talk how are we supposed to know what is going on?
Big eye sore ☹️
Happy New Year!!
