My Rena 400 is dying and parts are scarce.
It has two outputs -- looks like each output is its own internal pump. The specs were 2 x 200L per hour, 8 watts, 2 x 4-35 PSI. I can't find a graph that specifies that by depth ....
I'm considering buying an Alita Linear Air Pump -- the AL-6A. The AL-15A isn't much more expensive and the decibel rating is almost the same.
Most people seem to use these on multi tank setups -- I have a single setup:
Is the 6A already overkill? I'd rather not be spending the watts every year (which cost more than the difference in price between the two!)
Thoughts?

Most people seem to use these on multi tank setups -- I have a single setup:
- About 50 gallons, plus an external sump.
- Freshwater
- Planted
- A couple of bubblers in the sump
- A bubble wall about 4' long in the tank at a depth of about 16-18".
