Air Pump For Shrimp Tanks

I'm looking for a good air pump to run 10-15 sponge filters and running into mixed reviews on everything I look at.

I had been told to try Ecoplus Commercial airpump because its cheap and works great, but later found out they tend to heat up and can even raise temps in a tank.

Then the rest of the pump I was told are massive and are gear more for 40+ tanks.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I run an ac30 or ac50 (depending on the rack) and have no problem with them running sponges on 8 tanks each.

You can call the folks at Jehmco.com, and they will walk you through getting the right pump and size. I have the Diaphragm Air Pump (the 20 model) and it has worked great. Same number of tanks as you are saying. I also did a closed loop PVC setup, and that has worked really well.
