How strong air pump is needed?

By using one Hailea High Pressure Air Compressor 20w Aco308 which have 4 outlets. The pump gives out 45 Liter per minute divided by 4 outlets. Which is 11.25 Liter per 2.6 gallon tank that I plan to use.

Then by curiosity I checked out what General Hydroponics WaterFarm uses for air output(ACO-2201 air pump). They only use 1.3 Liter per minute pump in a 10.5 gallon tank.


Either I would overdo or the WaterFarm has insufficient water oxygen? Which is it?

So guys what would be sufficient enough for a 2.6 gallon tank? No point wasting electricity if it's not required for my plants.

Some say more is better.
