PMP Air Pump
    #7543213 - 10/21/07 03:07 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I am going to do a PMP terrarium and I have an airpump from a fish tank that I don't use anymore. The problem is there is only 1 output. I have a 15 gallon tub, would this pump be good enough to use if I leave it on 24/7 or do I have to find a double output pump? Im not sure what the output numbers are it is not on the pump and I do not have the box anymore.

this is what i used to figure it out.
as it turned out, for me, i needed a 60 dollar, 150 gallon aquarium pump to have enough FAE for a largish sized pmp.

I do not know the output of my pump but I think it was used for a 10 gallon fish tank. If i use this for my 15 gallon PMP would it still work? Would I be able to see if there is not enough FAE if I tried this pump? Could I just drill more holes in the PMP to help with the air flow?

Got 25$?

go buy a new one, but the one you have may suffice. But... The more air exchange the better.

I wouldn't put more holes in PMP because you may lower your ability to maintain higher humidity.

If i use perlite instead of lava rocks would the pump be able to circulate enough air?

Should I still have only holes in the top or should I drill all 6 sides?
