Aquarium Air Pumps Supplies Online Store Australia

Oxygen is of paramount importance to your fish’s habitat and survival.

Fish breathe by using organs called gills to dissolve the oxygen in the water. When fish breathe they reduce the oxygen count in their aquarium. This is why it is important to supply fresh oxygen consistently! The easiest way to do this is by utilising aquarium air pumps.

Ok, so now you know why you need an air pump, but which one is right for you?

This is dependent on the size of your aquarium, the amount of fish inside and the climate.

Logically, for a large amount of water, you will need a large air pump to efficiently aerate it! Also, if you have a large amount of fish, you will need to reintroduce more oxygen to the aquarium to keep up with their consumption.

Lastly, if you live in a hot climate, or you have a tropical aquarium setup, more oxygen is consumed. This in turn, means you are more likely to need a pump.

What else do I need? 

For a full setup, you will also need air hose and a diffusion solution such as an air stone. Nick’s Pet Needs offers everything you need in one convenient location.
