User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this to attached two air pump or more in the same time
Answer:	It pulls air in the unit directly and a secondary intake tube wouldn't really be possible. You could add a "Y" connector for two output hoses. Hope that helps.
Question:	What is the difference between the silicone in the plastic tubing
Answer:	Nothing states how many watts this is. Sorry
Question:	tubing hole too small to fit air stone____is there a way to fit without buying adapter
Answer:	I would get 3 or 4 maybe even 5 for your 120 gal. The air stone that comes with it is only about the size of a quarter. I have never tried it on a larger stone but my guess is it will not power anything larger then the stone that comes with it. The power cord that comes with it is only about 2 feet long so plan to run a cord to near the top of your tank. The air line is also about 2-3 feet long. This pump only turns on when the power goes out. The number you buy would also depend on what your stocking levels are too. If you already have a large air system on your tank you could also buy a UPS battery backup. (Price for a decent long lasting one is about $189)Hope that helps you.
Question:	What is the diameter of this tube
Answer:	Living in the Northeast we get some crazy weather. This pump should be used as a back-up. It will turn on when the power goes off as you need to plug it in the outlet next to the tank. And yes it does only work on the batteries...hence a battery back-up pump if you lose power. The electrical plug is a sensor that will sense when the power cuts off. It is very powerful and gets the job done. My fish love to swim in and out of the currents it makes!

Gauge of Tubing Wall

Color

The color of our tubing is semi-transparent pure white. This is a sign for the quality of raw material the tubing is made of. Good quality tubing lasts longer, won’t turn brittle. This color also makes our tubing blending in the aquarium environment better.

The cheap air line tubing in the market usually looks yellowish. They are usually made of low grade material. They won’t last long time and turn brittle and more yellowish quickly. The contamination in the low grade material could be hazardous to your fish and plants.
