A setup like this would be overkill for most people. But if you are tired of the little air pumps this should make you happy.
I first saw one of these in use at Thompson's Gardens a fish and plant wholesaler in colorado. All you need is a 1/4hp motor and a smog pump from a clunker. Most people should be able to find both for little or nothing.
