I use a 52 gallon rain water barrel to condition my water before performing water changes in my three tanks. On water change day, I refill the barrel with tap water, add Prime and GH booster. Some times I do a 10% daily change and sometimes I do a 50% weekly change if I get home from work to late at night to do the 10% daily changes. I run a air pump with the air line placed at the bottom of the barrel to keep the water moving and for airation.
Heres my question:
I don't think the air line is enough for this size barrel. I was thinking of getting a Rio mini 90 aqua pump and placing it at the bottom of the barrel pointing up.

Do you think this would be a better? big enough? pump to do the job?
Or maybe another brand etc.?
Thank you
