What air pumps do you guys use if any?
 
I prefer airpumps by a german manufacturer "Schego" but I don't know if they are available in the UK. Very reliable over a long time and very silent in my opinion.
 
Mark do you use this instead of a filter or aswell as?
What size tanks do u use it in?
cheers

Hi, the bulk of my tanks are unfiltered. I have a 4ft glass tank which uses an internal submersible filter but the rest are as per this post: http://www.caudata.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49415 with just a line for aeration. 10 tanks run off the one air pump. For small tanks many keepers use air driven sponge or corner filters. For large set-ups you may require mechanical filtration.
 
I recommend Rena air pumps. These are the quietest I have ever tried. Also, it is fairly easy to find parts for them, so they should last practically forever.
