hygger Quiet Mini Small Aquarium Air Pump Betta Fish Tank Bubbler Oxygen Aeration Pump with Air Stone Tubing Suction Cup for 0.5-15 Gal Fish Bowl

Very Quiet. Well Built. Worth The Price . Works Great For My 5 Gallon Shrimp Tank & Put Out A Decent Amount Of Bubbles

I bought an air pump from Walmart for my tank and immediately found out it was incredibly loud. I live in a studio apartment and I could not have the air pump on for more than a couple minutes because the buzzing was horrible and could be heard from any part of my home. I was hesitant to order a different one online because it seemed hard to tell when one really would be silent or not based on reviews and all of them claiming to be silent. But this one is virtually silent! The air pump itself makes almost no noise and can only be heard if you're holding it close to you, while running I can only hear the filter itself which is not a fault of the air pump. I haven't had to turn it off to get some peace like I did with my last one. I would have never been able to leave the pump running at night with the old one I had, and I'm very impressed with this one for the price.

I have two ten gallon freshwater tanks, both with sponge filters, and the pumps I had hooked up to said filters at the time had a bit too much power for the size tank they were working and therefore were causing too much disturbance in the water. Bought this for one tank to see how well it works and did end up buying another for the other. It does its job, but is a bit loud for its size, sometimes getting slightly louder for a short period of time, but overall not so loud that you can’t get used to it. It pumps just enough air to the filter to let it do its job without disturbing the water much. And tip: it looks like it’s barely working when you first hook it up, but let it run for a while and it’ll start running better.

The media could not be loaded. This little air stone really works well!! It’s SO QUIET!! Any noise you may hear is from the air unit in my daughter’s room. The air stone produces a lot of bubbles and the fish really seem to like it.It was a great buy and addition to her tank. I recommend for anyone with a small tank needing to add some air flow. It’s easy to set up and does really work!

Originally I got the IQ whisper thing and i swear it sounded like i was inflating tires in my bedroom. After having one thing advertised as quiet I was terrified to waste money on another crazy loud air pump. BUT THIS ONE IS SILENT!!!!! Like actually the only way you can tell it's on (besides the bubbles) is by putting your finger on the device and feeling an itty bitty vibration. It's not the most powerful considering its size, but i do have it in a 20g long which is a bit bigger than recommended. if all you want is to create a bit more agitation in side/corner of your tank it's great. the smaller the tank the more it'll do. anyway, i would rather get a bunch of these to power a whole tank than get a bit more powerful one that will keep me up. the tubing it comes with is clear which makes it hide better in the tank. I cannot recommend more!!!!!!

I had recently purchased a Fluval 3 gallon Betta tank and set it up with some live plants. This tank boasts an extremely low-flow set up, which has been great for my betta but not so much for promoting good circulation around some of the soft- and hardscapes in the tank. With this little air pump, I have been able to greatly increase the circulation of the tank. I did need to utilize a little air flow-regulator that I purchased elsewhere and had handy from another tank project and so that I could adjust the flow of the air pump to just the right level. This little pump does have a fabulously strong air output so, if you're looking for something light for a smaller tank like myself, pick up a flow regulator and adjust accordingly to your needs! It's small size, strong suction cup, and complete package (tubing and air stone included) allow for a quick, clean, and effective set up!

I've had this for 4 months and it just recently started to get super loud. It works fine - puts out plenty of air bubbles and surface agitation - but the loudness is a problem for me. It used to be mostly silent. Since it's cheap I knew it was a risk, but I enjoy most of Hygger's products so figured I'd give it a shot. I would've expected it to work for at least 6 months if not longer, but oh well.

The diffuser stone did not allow air to dissipate into the water. Instead, the large (and loud) bubbles leaked from the edge of the black nipple. This is unlike other photos submitted by various reviewers. The stone is most likely faulty.As I mentioned this system was loud! I could hear the pump from an adjacent room! When removed from the water however, the pump was much quieter.I lost the pump lottery. Item was returned.
