Hydroponics engineering problem! How can I power an air pump?

I need to run an air pump, which has no electricity from an electrical outlet ... What can I use the power of a simple fish tank air pump for 2 months? a car battery? energy solar? ect ... and How do I set up these systems?

I think that you are pierced by the horns of a dilemma. All fish tank / aquarium pumps of which I am aware of standard household electric current which is usually 120 volts AC [alternating current] [in the U.S.], and car batteries and normally available solar panels to charge the batteries provide DC [direct] running at 12 volts. Therefore, a car battry by itself can not operate a regular bomb aquarium. The power of the car battery will have to be converted to the present house. Also, I'm not aware of the pumps 12 volt DC air aquarium. To use a pump aquarium with a car battery would require an electrical device called "Invert" [face], which makes the car battery 12 volt DC current at 120 volts AC. This combination of pump energy aquarium, but I doubt a single charge of the battery can last for 2 months, that means I would have to periodically have to recharge the car battery. Another possibility is the combination of a solar battery charger 12 volt DC, a car battery and a wind of 12 volt DC car bomb normally used for adding air to the tires of a vehicle and connected to the outlet or cigarette lighter car battery through the cable clamps on compressor power. The only difference / possible problem with the replacement 12 volt air tire pump for aquarium pump is a great difference in size, and air therefore more pumped. If you can live with this, or "spill" some of the excess volume of tire air pump should work.
