Hey I am new to the forum and am looking for a bit of advice on my whisper 60 airpump.

Well I have a 30 gallon tank with a whisper 60, the new ones that are domed shape and purplish that I picked up last year, and I have noticed that it has considerably lost performance over the past month.

For a while I was running the 30 with one outlet and had a long run to another 15 gallon and I guess the lenght killed one diaphram cause after a month it couldn't provide enough presure to keep going in the 15.

After I got rid of the 15 I could only use the one outlet that still had enough umph to work.

Last night, I noticed that the one remaining outlet was starting to struggle, and is hardly working at all.

Should I try and fix it? if so where is a good place fore replacement parts?

Or just can the cheap air pump (16 bucks shipped off of ebay) and get a tetra tec?

Thanks

I wouldn't bother trying to fix it. It's probably the motor anyway and they are cheap enough to replace.
