So i was out shopping for supplies to make my TiT when i noticed some cheap prices on air pumps at walmart. I figure later on i am gonna pair one of those up with an autotimer. Anyone know what a good/cheap air pump to use is? Also, what is a good cycle to use when setting the autotimer?

This one will out preform any fish pump, though you should have a big FC or multiple TITS

only $50 and it works for me

I used to use a diaphragm style fish tank air pump in my old PMP. Besides it being noisy I didn't really notice any difference compared to when I didn't use it and just relied on manual fanning. Problem with them is they don't move much air. The CO2 is heavier then the air and will settle to the bottom of the FC pumping a small amount of fresh air into it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
That's just my opionon a lot of people still use them.
If you want VERY simple automation with great results. Spawn some PF cakes to tenn-studs pre-pasturized horse poo in a mono-tub.

The stats: Maximum Pressure: 3psi Maximum Capacity: 22 lpm / 1,320 lites pre hour 394 gph /6.5 gpm 24,800 cc/minute capacities Power Consumption: 8w
My FC area: 26' Length 36' Height 23' Depth
Total cubic inches: 21528 cubic feet: 12.4 gallon: 93 / 351 liters
2 FAE pre hour 12.4 cu. ft. divided by 60 = 4.8 CFM cubic feet pre minute / 135.8 liters minuets / 35.9 gpm
So this air pump will exchange the volume of air 3.7 times an hour in my FC through 4 hoses.

Grab a cool mist (do a search) But you will have to do slightly more modding for the coolmist.
