Collection: Aquarium Air Pumps & Accessories

If you want to ensure your pet fish are getting enough oxygen, one of the easiest ways is use an aquarium filter or accessory that run off an air pump for aquarium usage– such as an aquarium air stone, sponge filter, undergravel filter, fish tank bubbler, or moving bed filter. The aquarium air pump sits outside of the fish tank and uses electricity (either from a wall outlet or battery power) to pump air into your aquarium equipment or air stone for fish tank use. The air travels from the fish tank air pump to the aquarium decoration or device using aquarium airline tubing. Since the filter or tank bubbler is inside the aquarium, make sure water doesn’t leak out of the fish tank through the aquarium tubing by installing an aquarium air pump check valve in between the air pump and the aquarium equipment. If you don’t have an adjustable air pump and it’s pumping too much air into the tank, add an aquarium air valve to control the air flow to your liking.

If you’re looking for the best aquarium air pump on the market, try the battery powered air pump Aquarium Co-Op made. This quiet aquarium air pump can run off a power outlet or its rechargeable, lithium-ion backup battery, which allows it to be used as an emergency air source during power outages or as a portable air pump to transport aquarium fish. Just add a fish tank air stone to a bucket of water, and your fish will get plenty of oxygen on their way home.

If you are setting up multiple fish tanks or an entire fish room to run off a linear piston air pump, you may need other aquarium air pump accessories to help distribute the air, such as an aquarium air valve, gang valve, or T-shaped aquarium airline splitter. The reason why many fish keepers prefer to use air pump for fish tank filtration is because the flow is very gentle (for raising fry or nano fish), air-driven filters are very reliable, and the total cost is relatively cheap, especially when running many aquariums.
