"This pump, as the title says, is surprisingly quiet, the sound of the bubbles and the waves in my tank are actually louder than this pump, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that. The pump has 2 outakes and comes included with the following: The pump of course, instructions , 1T-adapter; 2 knobs/valves that help regulate the amount of bubbles you feed into the aquarium by increasing/decreasing air flow. You may also want to get these: 2 PCS Non-return Check Valves for Aquarium Air Pump to keep water from going into the pump during water changes or power outages."
"aqua tank - AIR PUMP 200 W/DIFFUSERS The Eheim is significantly more expensive, but is made to hang from something and is, so far, quieter and still sufficiently powerful."
"It came with a T-joint that should allow it to pump two lines of air hose at once but the poor little thing is just not strong enough to do that. I have it setting on a couple of paper towels just because otherwise it would be sitting on a bare wooden surface between two tanks and it would be bouncing around a little bit."
"Very quiet, don't let anything touch it and you wont have any vibration either."
"The vibrations caused by the air intake cause the noises, not the actual air intake, so I solved a slight noise issue by putting it on top of a thin book I didn't care about."
"Moves a TON of air, I was quite surprised to see the aggressive bubbling in our 30 gal tank."
Includes magnet-suction cup mounting system for free positioning in aqaurium. New and improved mount featuring vibration absorbing technology and magnetic suction cup with free positioning capabilities.

"So far so good, we just received our new circulation pump yesterday and installed it which was super easy.. just attach to tge tank with the super dury magnet and plug in.. voila. We have this in our 55gal tank to get a little extra circulation on one side of our tank and to give our live plants some flow and its awesome, its powerful enough to do exactly what we want, we almost went with a higher gph but the 600 we got is perfect!!"
"Love it, bought another, 5 stars."
"I returned it and bought this instead and this one feels better built as Aqueon's felt like cheap plastic."
"Powerful 850GPH, efficient and quiet water circulation pump for my 75G Marine Aquarium!"
"Glad I bought this production, this is my 4th pump that I have bought."
"5 stars if you just need a constant running pump, but attach this baby to a wave maker and it clicks like crazy."
"We have 3 of these in our 55 gallon saltwater tank."

Photos six and seven show the brass attachment and then the Python green attachment attached to the stationary tub hose. If you trying to attach the Python to the hose from which you removed a center spray handle, you are going to need to buy another brass adaptor to connect the green Python attachment to the hose. If you're not going to attach the Python to a sprayer hose-type connection either at your kitchen sink or stationary tub, just make sure you have a faucet that has an aerator that can be unscrewed from the faucet. I have attached photos of the stationary tub that we were trying to attach the Python brass adapter to with no success. The diameter of the brass Python attachment is too big to screw into the attachment on the stationary tub hose."
"I had a 10 gallon tank and was using the siphon and bucket for water changes. I upgraded to a 36 gallon tank and when I tried to fill it up with the bucket it was a lot of effort and mess on the floor. So i went back to siphon and bucket for the water change as I could not risk the fish to die. As I noted earlier about my lack of handy man skills, I was waiting for the call back from Phython to guide me. In the mean time i had ordered the snap connector thinking it would help me with fixing it to the faucet. There they helped me and said that the brass adapter that i have from Phyton would work with my faucet and I did not need anything extra. Back home there was success in fixing the adapter to the faucet and i was able to get water out of the tank. This time I removed the washers from the brass adapter and started with less pressure from the faucet."

"I bought it to replace a larger pump that went out on my Allen + Roth 38" metal fountain from Lowes. I imagine that my fountain size is about the limit this thing can do, so don't be putting this into a huge one, expecting it to work great."

Called Tetra and I could have purchased a kit to replace the internal parts that have worn out but by the time I bought the parts and paid for shipping, I was at half the cost of a brand new one."
"The nozzle that your airline connects to is very flimsy and mine broke after several months."
"It's a great pump."
"hardly can be heard ....great for 20 gallons or smaller."
"Shipped 2 days early!!!"
"The Whisper AP150 is very quiet and provides plenty of aeration through a 23" air wand for my 130 gal., 22" deep and 6' long tank."
"I run this to a 5 way splitter to run sponge filters on six tanks (one branch goes off into two) and it gives more than enough air for that."
"Fantastic output...I have it pushing two sponge filters in a 90 gallon tank and because of its output the sponges are doing a better job filtering than the previous canister filter I had on it...best part the bubbles are louder than the pump, if it weren't for the bubbles you can't even tell this thing is on, its so quite."

"five active aquariums, all African cichlids, with pretty shades of blue, yellow and orange in the various sized tanks (125, 75, tall thin 55, and a tall 15 gallon hex all in cabinetry, along with a typical 50 on a stand in his "man-cave" that he uses as his "nursery" tank when the fish propagate - which is regularly - until they're large enough to fend for themselves.). He's accumulated a variety of filters as well - clip-ons, external and internal units - but his favorite BY FAR was always his AcquaClear 50, which he'd used for countless years on his 75 gallon tank (even though the AQ50 is recommended for 20-50 gallon tanks - he's had no issues whatsoever, the fish are healthy and - as mentioned - frequently procreating!). 12/12/15 update: Well, my husband is so thrilled with how well this 110 filter is working on his 125 gallon tank, that I did go ahead and order the 70 filter for his 75 gallon tank for his birthday as well."
"Quiet, moves a lot of water, and easy to clean. At first I thought this filter was just "ok" because the water wasn't dirty, but it also wasn't crystal clear."
"Because replacement parts are not stocked at my local fish store, I bought a second 110 unit to use for parts if needed. You can buy some individual parts online, but the cost adds up, and for me, buying a whole complete unit (albeit sitting in the original box in the garage) made sense, since you have instant access to any needed part."
"I am in love with this filter!"
