Sponge Filter Air Pumps

[Trail_Mix]

Hi,

I just ordered an ATI Pro Sponge Filter #3, with a stackable additional sponge. I then realized I would need an air pump in addition to the sponges. What would be an ideal air pump for this set up?

Thanks!

Then i dont believe air stone is necessary because too much agitation will reduce the co2 concentration in tank

Wait I'm confused. I thought the sponge filters require an air pump to operate.

ahh sorry i thou it was a power filter! haha my bad. on that note, yes u do need a air pump. as in what kinda or brand im not very familiar.. but its not that important what size u get because most of them are adjustable. but do research on the different brands available on the market today!

So basically any air pump I get will do the trick?
