Air pump

The 150 gallon rated air pump I purchased and that claims it can run 10 air features barely runs 2 but no more:

Anyone tried on of these:

The various Tetra Whisper air pumps are very quiet, but they don't move a lot of air. Vivosun and similarly-styled pumps are powerful, but noisy. My solution to the noise/power dilemma has been to use multiple Tetra pumps in my fish room, basically one pump for every 100 gallons; this is not the most cost-effective solution, but it works. I also have two large display tanks in other rooms, where quiet is important, and for these I use Fusion pumps, which are very quiet, but I've had mixed results with these pumps concerning longevity. Good luck.

I would really like just one pump to rule them all.

I have tried a variety of those EcoPlus
pumps and have ALWAYS had problems with them either air output or noise. Are you just supplying air to one tank or multiple?

Four 29 gallon on the wall rack I built.

I would look at the Jehmco diaphram pumps, they are quiet at put out a lot of air. For your use I would at the DAPMH15. I use the DAPMH30 but i am running 20 aquariums.

For 4 tanks check out this pump. It is frequently discounted at PetSmart. It is branded as TopFin but in reality it is a Danner Supreme AP-8 pump. It has 4 outlets and pressure control, perfect for your application.

I will check out the top fin. The others you recommended look good but are a little spendy. Maybe when I start making money by selling fry
