Power and coverage
The HITOP black-shark 6W air pump produces up to 160 gallons per hour and is rated for aquariums roughly between 50 and 300 gallons. Its output supports sponge filters, small pond aeration, hydroponic systems or multiple tanks when split across airlines.
Quiet, vibration-reduced design
The unit uses a double-layer construction—an internal pump assembly inside a thickened outer shell—to contain sound. Elastic rubber feet under the base absorb vibrational energy, reducing transmitted noise when the unit is running.
What’s in the box
The package includes: two oversized air stones, two 4.9 ft air tubes, two check valves, two airflow control valves, two suction cups, one T-connector and a 4.9 ft power cable. That set-up allows quick connection to filters or multiple outlets without extra purchases.
Appearance and controls
The pump is molded in a shark-like silhouette with illuminated side panels that are switch-controlled for on/off lighting. A front-mounted knob provides smooth, precise adjustment of air volume so you can tailor output to different tank sizes and applications.
Usage and warranty
Use the supplied tubing, valves and splitter to feed sponge filters, air-driven ornaments or plant rigging. The pump is also suitable for gentle pond aeration. The manufacturer provides a 12-month warranty for peace of mind.

Cons

The playful shark-shaped case with switchable side lights is an added visual perk. The included accessory kit lets y

KJ 5/5
Great for a planted 20 gal setup
Quiet and strong on my 20 gal planted tank with two airlines. The small light is a nice touch. I run it at half power and it’s steady.

Lots of bubbles, sturdy build
Small aerator that pushes many bubbles from both stones. Used in a 60 gal stock tank for goldfish — they’re lively and the unit is quiet and stable.

Persephone 4/5
Handles multiple sponge filters
Strong enough to run sponge filters on 2.5, 5.5 and a 37 gal (with a diverter). Low noise on medium settings; louder at full power.
