Air Pump help

I will keep this short. I am looking for an air pump that has a fitting on the INLET side.

I want to use this pump to pull outdoor air through my DIY CO2 scrubber and then aerate my tank.

Right now i am using 2 DIY scrubbers in parallel tied to my air intake on my skimmer and getting no results. I think the air restriction is the main problem.

That is why I am looking for the air pump with a fitting on the INLET side.

Any ideas?

Normally you would go from the air pump through CO2 scrubber to your skimmer or reactor.

I agree it seems like that is what you would normally do. however i really don't want to put a pump outside (I really need to pull outside air).
