In this 2017 video I show you how to set up the Tetra Whisper Air Pump for 2-10 gallons.
[CC] available. So you don't have to listen to my weirdly quite voice and the annoying repeating of the word "thing" lol.
You don't need the same air stone bar as me or the same check valve or tubing, I just went with the cheapest things I could find. In the video I showed two different air stone bars. The first one didn't fit in the tank so that's why I showcased a different one in the tank at the end of the video.

I don't recommend getting the airline tubing I got off Amazon (listed above^). It says that it's standard size, but it's really not. The opening is way too small. I recommend getting tubing in-stores so you can make sure to get a size that can fit over things more easily. Or maybe try this Amazon one that has better reviews www.amazon.com...

*Sorry I kept calling the air control valve a "thing". Also, sorry the audio is really quiet.* Subtitles are an option. Links are in the description⬆⬆⬆ *Also, here👇 are some ANSWERS to the most asked questions.*
*Question>.* Do you need to have a Check Valve?
*Answer>.* No, a check valve is not necessary for the pump to work. It's for stopping any water from getting into the air pump. The inside of air pumps are not water proof, so it would be good to have one in case water from the fish tank were to siphon up the tube and enter the air pump, which is very possible especially when turning off the air pump. If you want to risk not having a check valve, then make sure your air pump is placed above the tank somewhere and have the airline tubing hang down making U shape between the air pump and the tank. That might keep the water from getting into the air pump. But I recommend just getting a cheap little check valve so you won't have to buy a bran new air pump if something were to happen.
*Question>.* What does the Air Pump come with?
*Answer>.* It come's with the air pump, the air control valve, and some instructions. The things you need to buy separately are: Airline Tubing, Air Stone or Bubble wand or Sponge Filter or you can just put the tubing in the water with nothing attached, and a Check valve if you want.
*Question>.* Does the Air Pump make any noise?
*Answer>.* Yes, It makes a small buzzing or vibrating noise. That's why it's called the Whisper Air pump and not the Completely Silent Air Pump. It can be louder out in the open or on a hard surface or if the valves are touching something. I keep mine on the floor behind a stand, so I can't really hear it at all.
*Question>.* How come no bubbles are coming out?
*Answer>.* Well, there could be a few reasons why bubbles aren't coming out of your Tubing or Air Stone.(1). The air flow control valve could be completely twisted shut preventing any air from the air pump getting into the tank.(2). The tubing could be clogged somehow, maybe with water.(3). Air could be exiting from somewhere on the tube.(4). Your bubble wand or air stone might not be soaked in the water long enough for it to have softened up and open the pores in which the air exits.(5). Maybe your air pump isn't strong enough for the size bubble wand you have.
Dear Animal Lover,
your voice is so soothing in your video, I enjoy listening!
Aaawe thank you so much! Your too kind😊 I'm glad you enjoyed.
Animal Lover
Thank you so, so much for this video. My tank has been needing better oxygenated lately, and I finally got to purchase the supplies I needed. The instruction were very minimal for the Air pump and I was upset about that, but your video made everything so much easier and quick to understand. Thank you!!!!!!!!! Lots of love from my betta, and four guppies ♥️♥️♥️
What a fantastic tutorial, not unnecessarily long, just right, explained concisely, quality microphone and relaxing voice.
Thank you! That's really nice to hear. I personally don't think I did very well with this video because I didn't talk loud or know what things where called before making the video. But I'm glad it's been helpful anyway. Thanks again😄👍💕
Heck yeah, straight to the point to entertainment bs I miss that from TH-cam
So your telling me I needed all these separate parts! Dude omg wow well wish me luck going back to the petstore
Lula Moonlight lmao
Lmfao same. I bought the air pump thinking that was it. Sike. Gotta go back.
Usually they all come with the air pump
Yeah that happened to me to now got to go back to petsmart
Right???? I feel like all the extra stuff should be included on the box. Cause most people including myself will assume that everything needed is there. My friend gave me a 20 gallon tank a couple weeks ago & today (3/28/2021) I finally got around to setting it up. He gave me a filter & water heater but I went to Petco bought both brand new / newer models. Also got gravel, fish food, bottle of safe start for the water & of course a few fish. Only to get home & realize I forgot an air pump!!!
Now I’d I didn’t google a video to see how this air pumped looked & worked. I had no idea about all the extra stuff needed like the tubing, the air stone & the check value. I figured all of it would come together in the box! Thankfully 😅 I won’t have forget another thing needed for the tank / fish safety / well being. Now all I’ll need is decor which I already ordered a few things from Amazon & they’re on the way!
You're a rockstar for explaining this. I had purchased all the correct pieces but had zero idea how to assemble it all. Much love!!
6 years later and still super helpful 🙌🏻 thank you!
OMG I love this, you went straight to the point, unlike many other videos while I needed to know how to set the dear thing up they tried to educate me why an air pump is important for fish. Duh ! I knew it's important that's why I got one !!!
Comments like yours are very helpful for making better videos. Especially "how to" videos. So thank you for sharing. I'm so happy my video was helpful to you.
Finally!! Thank You for this video! My son has a fish tank, we purchased a bunch of things and got to this part and couldn’t figure it out for nothing, even with the instructions in the air pump box. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you !!!!!🙏 simple and straight to the point !!!!🎉🎉
Another glitch in the Matrix!!!
At 1:15 that black fish disappeared!!! lol
T Bag 😂😂🤔
😂😂😂😂
You know too much.
Too. Much.
It's not the Matrix, haha! No no, that's an Ancient Black Disappearing Fish, originated in New Zealand. It will occasionally teleport itself back to New Zealand to swim in its natural environment for a few minutes each day before returning to the aquarium.
Please become an asmr fish TH-camr lmao
Yes
Why in the world is your voice so soft and satisfying dayum
Thank you. This video got right to point and was very helpful. Also, you have a asmr voice, and it was nice.
finally video where it makes sense, thanks. i recommend not to use air control but bleed valve, it makes less pressure and helps your air pump to last longer
Easy instructions. I was so confused reading reviews on Amazon. This helped tons thank u
So much better than the instructions on from the box!!!!!!
If you can't put the air tube. Put the end in hot water, it will make it softer.
Thank you for keeping it simple. That helped so much.
Your welcome 🙂 glad it helped
I love this tutorial, No chittter chatter crap,straight on to it.
Thanks for the information. I am pretty inexperienced with aquariums and this was very helpful. As a plus, you have a pleasant voice which made it that much easier to watch. Good work.
Thank you so much omg I’ve had all the parts except for the tubing for months and finally sat down to assemble it but didn’t know how so thank you you’re a god send🙏
Straight to the point. ☺
Excellent information!
Lifewithpets Thank You!
Finally! I've been looking for a good video on how to set one of these up. Thank you! Very informative. You're adorable!
Very good instructions, thanks! Tetra should be paying you for this.

Thank you very much I enjoyed your educational video. I’ve been buying tank items and doing my research on bc I just got a new 5 gal tank and want to know how to set up my air stone. Now I know what items I need
You are very welcome.😄 Glad I could help. Goodluck! with your new tank! and have fun!
I’m using this for my sponge filter and thank you for making this video because it was really helpful and then finding out what the control thing was I knew it was some type of controller but I didn’t know how to put it on so thank you for making this video
Thank you so much for this video. i’ve watch sooo many videos and none of them were as concise and answered every question like yours.
I agree! I'm a newbie.
i am starting a new tank as of today.... going through nitrate cycles now..... 4-6 weeks before I get my new babies, lol.
learning all I can.
thanks
Awesome! hope the cycling works out. That's good that your learning before getting cause not a lot of people do that :-) thank's for the comments ;-)
Thank you very much went to the store bought all the supplies and now is all Gucci
Thanks so much for your video! I just got an aquarium and am super excited
Thank you very much!
It's nice to just let go? Say to another human... "Omg!? You do IT!!?"
Great video.
Keep the help tips coming.
Doing a great job! 👌👏

Thanks I was wondering what those black air control things were. They came with the pump and I was wondering if it took place of the other air thing I had. Now I see that I need both. Thank you!!
Thanks for the really clear tutorial!! It really helped!
You're welcome. Glad it did!
Now i know why mine isn’t working thank you! Also loved your voice, it was sooo soothing to watch this video
thank you, i liked how you explained with"thingy"......i totally got it.
you kept it real
Yah sorry I called it that, from what I remember the instructions didn't really say what it was called.
Very relaxing voice.
scyapus tRUe!
Short and so informative! Thanks so much!
You're welcome😊. You could check out the new one, it's even more informative👉 th-cam.com/video/AU5Wu8_uniw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! This was super easy to follow, especially for someone like me that is fairly new to keeping an aquarium.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for letting me know.🙂 Enjoy your aquarium!
Thanks a million, that was such a big help.
Thank you for getting right to it - another one did nothing but talk about unrelated shit for three minutes
this video is great don't beat your self up
Thank you!!! I was so confused on how to do it lol. Video was very clear and helpful!!!
Helpful tutorial. Thank you.
You helped me so much, thank you!
This video has been so, so helpful! Thank you. :-)
A little handy tip, if you put the tubing in some hot declorinated water it will soften the tube and make it easier to attach to the air pump and air valve's etc.....
Thank you for this video. I had no idea what I needed and your video helped me 100%.
Thank you so much!!!
Her voice is so relaxing
Tanks help me a lot.... Great video...

Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
Your video is awesome! Thsnks for the help
Good video thanks :)
Great video! Thank you for this!
your voice makes me to subscribe your channel
Hi. thanks for your video, you got to the point and were a big help.Except: I have no idea which way to position the check valve as it has no "colored end" and no "in" or "out" written on it. I can't find an answer to this anywhere. Help, please!
Thank you. Try blowing with your mouth through each end to see which side air comes out of. And the side that air comes out of, you want facing the aquarium.
@@AnimalLoverChanL this helped me a lot too! As mine doesn’t have a colored end or any info on which side goes in or out. Glad I found this comment as well as this video!!! Thank you 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Wanted to comment on your recent air pump video, I loved it!
Oh Thank you! You are so sweet. I thought I had allowed comments but I guess it didn't work. Hopefully trying it again worked this time. This comment of yours helped me to know about it so thank you!
this video helped me to set up my air pump.thanks
Kishor Babu Your Welcome! Thank you for telling me☺
💀 i installed without the air control, thank you for this
Great instructional video....thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
I tried to split my pump to allow two air streams...I had to get a splitter valve first and a much bigger pump to get sufficient air movement.
I have a 36 gallon bow front tank....and needed more air movement to keep my fish and plants healthy.
Kingsley Chong
Thank you so much!💕 Oh really? I actually had to do the same thing for my 20 gallon. I had to get a 40 gallon air pump for stronger air flow and a splitter valve to separate tubing for the air stone and sponge filter. But anyways, thx for commenting and taking good care of your fish. At least it sounds like you are so good job!👍
thx so much this helped allot
Your dog tripped me out
This was very helpful Thank you! Will definitely try this!
Good voice to listen
Super helpful I just got one of these a hour ago
Thank you
Your voice is soothing 😉
Thank you so much, I'm planning on getting a fish when my animals pass... kinda dark but... when I get the fish I'm planning on getting a volcano aerator but I needed to know how to set it up, once again tysm.
thanks so much!!!!

I was a Little hesitant to listen to you because you called them things instead of what they were called but who cares it works thank you Little hesitant to listen to you because you called them things instead of what they were called but who cares it works thank you lol
Pook Bear
Yah lol when I watch this video, me calling it a thing is so annoying to me, so, sorry about that. If only I could redo it.
Hey no problem at all no worries cheers
I just spent the last couple months setting up and stocking my 55 gallon tank. I had a whisper air pump however this past weekend the airline disconnected from the pump over night. The water drained from my tank onto the floor in my living room through the disconnect line and in the morning the tank was empty and all my fish died.
That was disappointing and devastating. I was so upset and pissed if at the same time.
That’s horrible
Thank you! This was so helpful!
Is that a 30 cm air stone ? It seems to go well with that size pump
Thanks a lot
Really helpful!
Thankyou this was extremely helpful
Great video. Thanks a lot.
Thank u so much for this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video big help thank you
Very helpful. Thank you :)
Thanks for the tutorial, but my check valve isn’t working, I’ve tried putting it on both sides but it just won’t work
Do I need both air control valve i only have the first one u place
I love how you set up the sponge filter. I'm gonna get one of those and that long air stone when I upgrade to a bigger tank.
Yo this was helpful. Thanks
Yo Welcome ;-)
Where can i buy the air stones ot like bubble wands things? Also very helpful video thanks
I got mine on Amazon. But you also might be able to find some at petstores or fishstores. If you look at air stone wands on Amazon, just make sure you know the measurements before buying.
Your very welcome.🙂
oh my god i love your voice
I have a question...is it 100% necessary to put in a check valve and an airstone?
I have a simple check valve that looks the same on both sides, except one side says *OUT* with an arrow - the out side goes into the tank, right?
Yes, I believe you should have the OUT side of the valve facing the tank. And I think you can blow with your mouth through the valve to check which side the air goes out of.😉
Can you use the same air pump for 2 tanks? Sorry if that’s a stupid question, trying to figure it all out
It's definitely not a stupid question. You can use the same air pump for two tanks. You just need a T or Y connector. In this newer video,th-cam.com/video/AU5Wu8_uniw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yoerIpjJoOCIXB2t I explain how to use the T connector. I'm not sure whether a Y or a T connector is better for splitting between two tanks. You may just have to figure out what works and what doesn't. And if there isn't enough air flow going into either tank. You may need an air pump that is made for more gallons.
So when you turn down your "air control thing" is there another way for that unused air to escape or will it just blow out seals?
Does it come with tube?
