No.

I run simple "whisper" air pumps (by far the quietest on market, and may be cheapest also) in all 3 of my tanks....

Scott if you think the Whispers are quiet ? Try a Luft they even feel quiet and blast more air then the dual whispers . I have the little brown one for 10 yrs now and its as good at the first day , When I was commercially culturing and selling Phyto's It ran the entire 10 gallon reactor very powerful I have the larger one now also for air its a 4 way each outlet is like the little brown unit . Both ate totally adjustable also.. But as for injecting air I just drilled a hole into the wet/dry and shoved a 1ft length of the 3/16 airline pipe that does the job just fine.. Look at the Lufts if you have not gotten a good pump yet.
