Aqua Culture air pump
Have had this cheapo air pump running for...I don't know, maybe 2 years or so. Dual outlet. It now does not output any air from one of the outlets and does not have enough power to do much of anything from the other. I've never had an air pump die before. Is this something that is repairable? Thanks in advance, folks!
8 tanks running now:
1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon
Gouramis, barbs, rasboras, plecos, corys, tetras, fancy guppies, swordtails, ottos, rainbow shark, upside-down catfish, snails, and Max and Sparkles the bettas.

I believe there is some sort of diaphragm inside it, and it probobly ruptured. They arent very expensive, so i guess you get what you pay for.
Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can pay the rent.

That's what I am thinking. Maybe best to just replace it with a Rena? What do you think?

I'd take it apart just to mess with it - but any spare part you might need would probably be almost as much as a new one.
Go ahead - try to count my Bumblebee Gobies!

Robbie, that is what I was thinking. Just take it apart and see if I can figure it out. Might not be worth it, but maybe give it a shot, huh?
