Aquarium Air Pump By msculit on May 31, 2009 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

Our family is expanding! Not with kids but with small critters as pets - 3 guinea pigs (they were actually 15, I had to give the others to some happy and loving homes) and the new addition to the family - 2 gold fish!

When I was younger, my mom and dad would buy us puppies and fish to take care of. I learned that responsibility early in life, to care and nurture small living things in different form than ours. I am passing the same responsibility to my daughter who loves pets like I do.

We bought a couple of gold fish since my time cannot accommodate a great number of swimming creatures in my aquarium tank. I asked my husband to purposely get the smaller tank for easy maintenance because I am sure, I will be tasked (as always) to clean it regularly.

So, it goes without saying that a small tank will require a smaller air pump. I bought this Atec AR 2500 Aquarium Air Pump because it pumps air to small tanks which holds 80-200 litre. It is safe and has a quiet operation. Another good thing about this pump is that is has 2 speed control to regulate the air which is high and low. I have set mine to low only since I have a small tank.

For the price of AED 25.00, I think this small Atec AR2500 Aquarium Air Pump functions just like any other expensive aquarium air pump.
