Power outages are one of the greatest risks to aquarium livestock. Even a few hours without adequate water movement and oxygen exchange can place fish, shrimp, corals, and beneficial bacteria under significant stress. The JBJ U.S.A.

During normal operation, the unit provides consistent aeration to maintain water quality and support aquatic life.

This air pump saved my fish during a severe storm when the power went out. The battery backup worked perfectly and kept the tank oxygenated for over 10 hours. Easy to set up and quiet during operation. I’d recommend it for any aquarium owner concerned about power outages.

Great product for a planted tank. The aeration is steady and the battery lasts longer than expected. Only downside is the size of the unit, but it fits well in my corner tank.
