Review on 🐠 Efficient and Compact: Eheim AEH1001310 Compact Water Pump 600 for Aquarium by Jasmine Leon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade for Biocube 8 or replacement for MiniJet 606

Great little pump that fits my old pump chamber Oceanic Biocube 8 The pump for this application used to be a Minijet 606 which is no longer made. The Eheim Compact 600 fulfills the same role in almost the same form factor. The standard Biocube pump has a capacity of 97 gph, so switching to this pump will give you about an extra 60 gph, resulting in about a 62% increase in flow! Edit: I removed this pump from my tank, it works great and has a high flow but also generates a significant amount of heat. I did a few experiments by switching from the reservoir pump to this for 2 days and then back again for 2 days. I repeated this experiment several times and each time I saw a 3-4 degree increase in overall temperature with the Eheim compared to the standard pump. In an already hot biocube, such a temperature increase wasn't worth the extra flow.
