## Description

Tetra® Whisper® Air Pumps for aquariums provide powerful, dependable airflow. Efficient and easy-to-use, Whisper Air Pumps are available in a range of sizes to handle the aeration needs of aquariums from 10 to 100 gallons. Tetra Whisper 60 Air Pump can be used in tanks 40 to 60 gallons. The Tetra Whisper Air Pump’s patented dome shape and sound-dampening chambers minimize turbulence and produce a smooth, quiet stream of air. Its wide footprint, rubber feet and suspended pump motor eliminate sound-producing vibrations. Thick walls insulate motor noise, and powerful diaphragms provide ample airflow for deep water applications. Uses standard-size aquarium tubing. Select the proper size air pump for your tank. Since 1951, Tetra has developed the world’s most comprehensive body of fish food knowledge, and fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the brand for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting out, Tetra has everything you need – from a large variety of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and decor.

Review: Works great - Smooth airflow and very quiet. Great, compact size for my shelf.
Review: Strong pump - Very well built. Using for 90 gallon tall aquarium and it is more than adequate with XL sponge filter and large air stone. Not the quietest pump on the market. But since it is enclosed by the canopy, I can barely hear it. The bubble noise hides the pump noise. This pump is likely adequate for even a 125 gallon. I also use the Whisper pump rated for 100 gallon in a 125 gallon aquarium. It still works after 5 years of use and is only slightly louder than new. Air output has degraded to about 60%-70% of original. Sunsun pump w dual outlet, same 4 watt power, gradually became unbearably loud after 3 yrs of use. Now I only use for backup. Output is severely diminished and noise level is annoying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally worth it!
*by C***E on February 11, 2020*

I've only just set mine up, so I will re-submit my review if anything changes but so far, this air pump is great! The buzz is barely perceptible in a busy room, and as another reviewer stated, the bubbles rising to the top make more noise than the pump itself does. Setup was super easy and the output is actually pretty impressive. With the 60 pump, I'm running one 4" stone and I'm actually rather impressed with the output. Unless you plan on running several stones or curtains in a big tank, or running air to a second tank, you don't need to go with the beefier pumps.
