I use 2 x 2 outlet Resuns, battery backed. Get almost 10 hours backup if the power goes. With 4 airstones in the FT it gives resilience in the system.

Mind you I've got my eye on a 100lpm one for the new system... I've seen what it can do in a FT and I also want to be able to run some into a mineraliser. Can't have too much air... provided there is water of course. :D Be interesting to see what kind of lift I can get with 100lpm as well.

Don't touch the Aqua One O2Plus 4000. I went through 2 in just over 6 months. Diaphragms are weak and expensive.
