How much FAE does an average PMP need?

Hi,
Sorry if this has already been documented, I found a link to an "Air Pump FAQ", but it was broken.
Anyways, I am planning on attempting my first grow soon, using the PF-TEK and a Poor mans pod for the fruiting chamber. I discovered I already owned a small "whisper" air pump.
Its small, rated for a 10 gallon aquarium, and only has 1 output hose, but I am wondering if it would still work for an average sized PMP? Would I still have to manually fan at all?
Here is a picture:

Thanks, -RedBull

That's the smallest 1 they make, way too small IMO. I've read about ppl using the 60-100 gallon ones, which are only like $20 anyways.. You want all the air you can get..

I am gonna try to run mine with 2 60 gallon dual outlet pumps and 4 air walls might be overkill but I also have extras in case it isn't enough.
deffinately wouldn't think that pump would do it.
Hell if all else fails I have a 40psi dual diaphragm lab pump I might try....but I think that one is on reserve for bigger and better things.

Ppl say you dont need to with a PMP.For some odd reason I still do one to two times a day since I have it open anyway to mist. Which they say you also don't need to mist. Its suppose to be a totally automated system. That pumps way under powered unless your fruiting chamber is REALLY small.
