Hey nice review. I saw this on Amazon a few times but never brought myself to purchase it lol. I think this would be very good for a childs tank just based on the design, kids would love it
Thanks very much bud. Yeah it's nice, you can tell I like it. Think it would be way too powerful for a kids tank to be honest but that's a great idea, equipment designed to capture their wonder and inspiration. 👍
Maybe it's an essex thing as I like the look of it too, I also like that it comes with the airline and other bits as most things these days don't. 2 outlets for that price is good value but the shark design is wasted as most pumps are hidden in cupboards, but it is good to see companies putting effort into the hobby.
Yeah a lot of people will have their pump hidden but not everyone of course. Whether it's out in plain view or we only get to see it when we open the cupboard it's nice to have a piece of equipment nicely styled hey. Yeah despite the good reviews I was actually expecting to be disappointed but I'm definitely not. Think it's really good mate. Think they've done a great job with it.
🤚🤚yes and yes 😆😆🤘🤘 Great tips and great little pump ….. we have seen it on the net and thanks for checking it out Daniel…..looks like a good one…..we’ll hello you beautiful angels 😇😇👋👋
Haha thank you very much. I got the Angels from someone at work who asked if I could take them on because they were outgrowing their tank. They are huge! And as you say beautiful. I'm glad I could help out and get some beautiful fish to enjoy at the same time. 😉👍
Haha I was thinking about you when I was making this because of the shark thing. Thought if they make another version called "The Croc" I'd need to buy it immediately just to upload a video about it for you. 😆
Honestly I've bought 4 different air pumps. The last one I bought was an eheim 2 output. It came with hoses, check valves and diffusers. It also literally makes no noise. $50 CAD.
@@DanielKeepingFish eheim air 200 :) Commented something like I can't see the airflow numbers on the website but it flows way better than the other 4 I've had of different brands and sizes. The air coming out of the lines is louder than the pump :)
I just use the USB mini pumps, you can hang them on clip behind the tank etc, absolutely no noise too, i have 4 in total now and a spare one as they are the only air pump i will use, i even replaced the BIORB one on the wifes tank with one.
Yeah they're great. I have the Nicrew one. I wanted a single pump to run the three tanks in this set up though and the Nicrew was great for the two small tanks but would have struggled to supply all three. Then I noticed the Shark. Looked so good I have to look into it further and pretty pleased with it so far. Won't keep going in a power cut like the battery operated ones do right enough but fortunately we don't have many of those and I'll always have one or two of those Nicrews on hand in a pinch. 👍
@@DanielKeepingFish I need something with more oomph than the usb ones, one that will power at least 2 airstones (not crazily though) and one airstrip, but must be ultra quiet etc like the usb ones, any suggestions??
No worries. So it sits out side the tank. You connect air lines to it. The other end of the airlines go to airstones or sponge filters in the tank. If you place it above the tank that's all you need. If not you should add a non-return valve, a small piece of plastic the allows the air only one way so will not allow air or more importantly water to run the other way. It sounds complicated at first but it really isn't. Hope that helps. This video might help: ruclips.net/video/IVBO4t0zvgY/видео.html
Hopefully that's not typical. Mine seem was fine for six months + till I swapped it out for a bigger one. Could always add an airline splitter if you're still wanting to run more than one line off yours. 👍
The simple answer is not really. I mean if you're injecting Co2 it could gas some of that off but generally as long as it's not turning the water into a tempest I'd say you're fine.
I have never seen this double outlet aerator, it has a very beautiful shape that recalls part of the shark and a very good standard equipment. I like the red light and the air adjustment. Did you get it on Amazon? Great buy Daniel
@WS-hj8de really sorry I got super busy last night so didn't get time to test it. Am off today though so have it hooked up to a timer right now and will get back to you shortly.
It's way way more powerful than the Nicrew so if you're running a few tanks or a very big one it's ideal, if you only have one or two smaller aquariums the Nicrew is the way to go. Both pumps are very quiet but the Nicrew has extra features such as being able to run off the integrated battery if your electricity cuts out and the power saving mode.
Mine just busted today after 5 months. Stopped pushing air despite the motor humming away. Checked all lines. Thing looks unrepairable. Might be moving to the Tetra Whisper pump since it has replaceable parts. If anyones worked on these pls drop a comment here.
Okay, after a couple hours of work i figured it out. Now that i know the problem it is a super fast fix. Open shark top, remove tape hokding led wires, uncover pump screw holes inside. Unscrew top of pump. The magnets had gotten too close to the transformer and had become stuck. They need to have an air gap between the magnets and transformer. Took channel locks and bowed the arm having troubles juuuuuust slightly. Instantly fixed and pumping air again perfectly!
Ive had this now for the past 6 months with no problems at all and its still quite. Great pump!
Thanks for letting us know it's still as impressive several months later. I was hoping that was going to be the case so it real good to hear that.
Just got it installed on my 42 gallon tank. It looks great and makes the aquarium look good.
Glad you're liking yours too.
I bought this pump had it for a month so far its been great & with the adjustable air dial its almost noiseless but still lots of bubbles.
I know right? Great pump at an affordable price. Two big ticks hey. 👍

Nice vidio bro
Thanks very much Putra.
great video - thanks for posting - i'm now off to install my pump!
Haha.. enjoy!
Looks pretty good! and it sounded pretty quiet, awesome review on this pump Daniel!
Thanks very much bud. Yeah I'm really impressed with it, think it's awesome.
That looks hilarious, id buy one too. Good stocking stuffer for fishkeeper mates
That is such a good idea by the way, great idea for a Christmas gift. Or a budget horror b-movie; Sharks In Stockings. 🤣🤣
I just got the 6watt white version. Kinda worried as its not ul, or listed at all. But it is way quieter than any of my name brands with huge output
Ah cool. Glad you're enjoying it.
Awesome video Daniel !!! That is such a awesome looking air pump!! Love it!!!!
Haha pretty cool hey.
@@DanielKeepingFish certainly is mate! Will have to get one myself
Cool looking pump 👍
Haha I was thinking about you when I was making this because of the shark thing. Thought if they make another version called "The Croc" I'd need to buy it immediately just to upload a video about it for you. 😆
@@DanielKeepingFish lol 😝
thats a nice looking pump
I know right? I know a good looking pump isn't essential but it's pretty cool still.
Great review. Very professional. I've just ordered one.
Hope you like it as much as I like mine. 👍
neat looking pump
It is that APSS. 👍
nice pump. it looks like it can pump a lot of air
It is pretty powerful bud. Plenty of bang for the buck as it were.
Great pumps I have 3.
Glad you like them too Dave.
Great review 👍 that’s a cool looking pump 😁
I know right? Looks aren't everything with air pumps I guess but when a good pump also looks great that's a cool combo hey mate.
Honestly I've bought 4 different air pumps. The last one I bought was an eheim 2 output. It came with hoses, check valves and diffusers.
It also literally makes no noise.
$50 CAD.
I've not used an Eheim yet but I love their filters. Always reliable.
That comes out at £29 so in the same ball park. What's the air flow rate like?
@@DanielKeepingFish I think my comment got hidden because I put a link in it lol :)
@@justinbouchard ah yeah that happens. What was it? If I can look up what you were trying to show me I will.
@@DanielKeepingFish eheim air 200 :)
Commented something like I can't see the airflow numbers on the website but it flows way better than the other 4 I've had of different brands and sizes.
The air coming out of the lines is louder than the pump :)
After watching this video, I just ordered the shark pump. It's gonna replace my Eheim 400 air pump
I just use the USB mini pumps, you can hang them on clip behind the tank etc, absolutely no noise too, i have 4 in total now and a spare one as they are the only air pump i will use, i even replaced the BIORB one on the wifes tank with one.

@@DanielKeepingFish Yea i cant remember the last power cut it was so long ago
@@DanielKeepingFish I need something with more oomph than the usb ones, one that will power at least 2 airstones (not crazily though) and one airstrip, but must be ultra quiet etc like the usb ones, any suggestions??
@@Boss-zo4lw this one's running 2 air stones on lowest power in a 180L tank no problem at all. And that's at minimum setting with long tubing
Love it 😀
Thanks homes. 👊💙
How you put it together inside the tank ???? You didn't show that, please I need explanation and help , thank you.
No worries. So it sits out side the tank. You connect air lines to it. The other end of the airlines go to airstones or sponge filters in the tank.
If you place it above the tank that's all you need. If not you should add a non-return valve, a small piece of plastic the allows the air only one way so will not allow air or more importantly water to run the other way.
It sounds complicated at first but it really isn't. Hope that helps.

I liked that pump quite a bit, but within a few months the 2nd port no longer pushes out air , 1 port works great though
Hopefully that's not typical. Mine seem was fine for six months + till I swapped it out for a bigger one.
Could always add an airline splitter if you're still wanting to run more than one line off yours. 👍
I bought this pump and got it today, can you over oxygenate a tank? I have both of the air stones running in my 30Gal
The simple answer is not really. I mean if you're injecting Co2 it could gas some of that off but generally as long as it's not turning the water into a tempest I'd say you're fine.
I never saw that before, run it through the paces.
Sure will mate. Got it supplying a few tanks with plenty of air right now and will report back with anything else I discover for good or bad. 👍
Want to see exactly how it gets put together and why
I have never seen this double outlet aerator, it has a very beautiful shape that recalls part of the shark and a very good standard equipment. I like the red light and the air adjustment. Did you get it on Amazon? Great buy Daniel
I did find it on Amazon mate yes. I'm really happy with it. It's very powerful for a small pump and looks fantastic hey.
@@DanielKeepingFish Thanks Daniel!
I was just now buying one but reviews say it’s noisy and the tank is in my lounge . Shame
Can you use this all the time on a timer or does the power button have to be pushed again after power is off to it ?
I think you can use it with a timer but if I get a chance I'll double check when I get home tonight.
@@DanielKeepingFish appreciated thank you
@WS-hj8de really sorry I got super busy last night so didn't get time to test it. Am off today though so have it hooked up to a timer right now and will get back to you shortly.
@@WS-hj8de hiya. Can confirm it does work with a timer. The power button stays depressed so the pump will come back on when the timer activates.
@@DanielKeepingFish wicked, this is great, thank you so much, you made my decision to order one!
For me I got this little thing that looks like a filter pad does anyone know what it’s used for?
It'll be so you can change out the one in the pump if you need to at some point.
How does it compare to the nicrew air pump?
It's way way more powerful than the Nicrew so if you're running a few tanks or a very big one it's ideal, if you only have one or two smaller aquariums the Nicrew is the way to go.
Both pumps are very quiet but the Nicrew has extra features such as being able to run off the integrated battery if your electricity cuts out and the power saving mode.
