Adjustable rheostat controls airflow to suit your aquarium needs

Use to oxygenate water and improve gas exchange
The Luft Pump delivers 7.0 psi against water pressure, making it an excellent choice for ponds. Its heavy rubber diaphragm cannot be damaged by back pressure; this means if an airstone has not been maintained, the diaphragm won't be damaged. The adjustable rheostat increases air flow by regulating electricity, not by blocking air flow, allowing more efficient, economical performance. Can be used with multiple valves or T-connectors for multiple devices. Quiet operation. Includes replaceable airline filters and airline clamp. 6-3/4" x 3-1/2" x 3". For aquariums up to 90 gallons.

The Coralife luft pump is fantastic. I love the output control on it. You can adjust the amount of air pressure you want in your aquarium. Its extremely quiet and Coralife supplies extra felt pads. Looks well built and very durable. The only thing I miss is the dual outputs like on the whisper air pumps. But Whisper can't touch the quality that's in this air pump. Highly recommended...
I have been using this pump for over 6 years 24/7 and it is still as strong as ever. It is nice to be able to adjust airflow electrically and not worry about overworking the motor. Overall, it is very quiet unless you have it turned up to max where it hums a little but not more then other air pumps.
Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives.
Algae are prolific and opportunistic organisms that take advantage of aquarium systems that are out of balance. Water quality issues create ideal conditions for algae. This article explains how proper water quality helps control algae.
Coral propagation is a challenging and rewarding aspect of the reef aquarium hobby. It is also a great way to promote coral conservation. Learn more here.
Bubbles beautify your aquarium display, improve water quality, and make your aquarium more hospitable for inhabitants. With an air pump, airline tubing, an air check valve, and a touch of creativity, you can easily create a cascade of bubbles.
