Ok I'm planning on using the "Poor Mans Pod" fruiting chamber for some cubies and I'm about ready to start, but I wanna make sure my air pumps aren't going to be too much or too little. I read the "Air pump FAQ" on this site, but I wasn't sure how to read the table.

I have two "115 VOLTS/60 Hz" air pumps for aquariums. I'm not sure if you can determine the power level from these numbers but it seems to be the only information printed on the pumps. I planned on useing both pumps for this set up. Does anyone know if this will work? Or do I need only one of these pumps? They're pretty small pumps, a bit smaller than a brick.

you cannot determine anything by the info provided. What size tank does the box say they are for?

That's the problem. They have no boxes or instructions. I bought them, used, from a friend who knows next to nothing about the pumps.

Usually fish tank pumps say what amount of air they push in a certain amount of time. You should just set up your tank the way you want and then if you think you may need more air flow, then buy another pump for 10-20 bucks.
