    Thanks for recommending the USB airpump! just nice i can try to get and try it out! my branded Ehiem pump seems to be operating very low air bubbles after i checked.

    So many diy tricks. This is amazing. I am considering getting one or 2 for one tank I have but it needs to be quiet. Thanks for the video and the resistor trick

    how much power these pumps consumes?
    I use a big air pump for ponds and dimm it down, Hailea V60.
    Dimmed it consumes very low energy and is also super silent.

    I can confirm, they are very silent and have replaced all my airpumps. I run currently 7 of these and never had one fail. @shrimpmania i will switch to the UGF box, do you have 1 or 2 pumps installed per box?

    What is the result if you use a single USB pump with the larger dual sponge filter? Also, have you had many of these USB pumps fail? What's the average lifespan of these pumps?

    • @ShrimpMania
      @ShrimpMania  2 года назад

      Hey, one pump is a little bit weak for a large dual filter I would use 2 pumps. Now I switched to 3 pumps per ugf and 2 per sponge filter. I like to have a good flow in my tanks. Well it's been a year or so since I started using them. A lot of them failed like 15 at least. I'm using around 40 now in my shrimp room. Bought a lot when I was in Thailand they are super cheap in Asia, around $2 each so I'm not so worry about faulty ones. The only problem is if you plug them in one usb plug if one fail it can short circuit your usb charger and all the pumps connected to that usb wont work

      @@ShrimpMania thanks. It's just that I do already have a large dual-filter. So if I use a USB pump with the large dual-filter, will it at least suck a bit slower? Or will it be completely ineffective?

    Have you had any fail? I have bought these before, but a couple have failed over time. I keep one around just for the reason to plug into a power bank. For me they are great emergency back up pumps and for potability. Thanks for the information.

      I have two and while they didn't fully fail they sometimes don't turn on on their own. You need to shake them a bit and then they work.

    • @ShrimpMania
      @ShrimpMania  3 года назад +1

      ​@@yukimura1sanada Yes I agree, still worrying about any extra noise. I'm thinking in the feature I can install it in the loft upstairs and run the pipe through the ceiling. Meanwhile I don't think I need more air pressure for the filter than I can get for a dual usb pump though. UGFs don't need a lot of flow otherwise they expire faster because more water runs through the soil and also soil breaks more easily creating dust in the tank. For the sponge filters yes a little bit more power would be handy. I know looks a bit weird to have dozens small pumps instead on big one but this is how I am😄
