Are there any BIG airpumps?

[Anonymous]

I am looking to get one airpump that will run 72" of bubble wall on my 100 gal koi tank.

Does anyone know who would make a pump that big?

TIA

You can always use an air compressor

Just kidding, I use a Pro File 7300/7500 one of the two don't remember wich it is. @ 50".

Actually a small air compressor with storage tank wouldn't be a bad idea at all...just locate it someplace you don't mind a little bit of noise.

I think that most larger air pumps will handle that demand, just look at the ratings on the pumps. I think you can go to the websites for the various pump manufacturers (tetra has a site I believe, as do other manufacturers) and see how many feet of stones they can handle at what depth (kind of like the head rating on a water pump). Avoid the big industrial pumps, though, designed for multiple tanks, as they are VERY VERY loud.

Get aquatic eco-systems catalog. They have every possible kind of air pump, regenerative blowers, piston pumps and compressors.

For that matter, they also have sonic propane cannons, fish tracking equipment, paddle wheel aerators, chilled lobster tanks, etc, etc.

You can also get a liner for one of those giant 22 foot dumpsters. Instant swimming pool!

There was a big one that was medial grade on ebay. You might check that out. It was cheap too at the time...
