What kind of air pump should I use?

[Shinaken]

I have a 50 Gallon freshwater tank with a very small air pump in it . I have had this for almost a year now but compared to other fish tanks that i see the amount of bubbles coming out of the pump is low I was wondering if I should get a new one I want this mostly for aesthetics but if I need a more powerful one I would get it much sooner then later if just for aesthetics. So in short i have a fifty gallon tank what kind of air pump should i get?

I have a 55 Gal and using a Whisper 100. I run a small stone and a 8" bubble wand. I think it could handle more.

Do you have a filter on the tank? An airstone isn't the best way to get O2 into a tank, other than it provides surface aggitation.

I think for your tank that a CO2 Pro System would do what you are looking for. Good luck and I hope you find what you want.

On my 55 gallon, I've got a Tetratec, not sure which model, but it has two outlets. It is plenty strong, and as silent as any air pump I've ever heard.
