Fluval 13.5 USER READ FIRST

to overheat when attempting to withdraw water. I caught it before it got too high, but this simple fix got this pump working. Sure, it's a bit noisier than other pumps, but it works great and has Eheim's reliability. In any case, I hope this will help save a few tanks.

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Empty

Upgrade for Fluval Evo XII (13.5 gallons)

Two pumps are commonly used for Evo upgrades: Eheim CompactON 1000 and SICCE Syncra Silent 1.0. Both are known for their reliability and durability. Eheim won the award. This is the perfect upgrade as it was an easy swap. No fixtures are required. Loud but not critical if you put a suction cup on the pump. Due to the increase in flow, I had to move the heater to the first chamber. I also added Vivid Creative Aquatics 1/4" Random Flow Generators to the default drains. Both of these changes…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Poor performance

It's too loud! best water pump accessories

I didn't think that according to the reviews everything would be as bad as it really is. It's boo boo on my part. Don't get me wrong, it's not that loud. But it's definitely not quiet! I figured that with this pump I didn't need a circulating pump; and although it actually works that way. the sacrifice of silent operation is too great. Instead, I'll put it aside for a backup situation, keep the reservoir pump on my Fluval 13.5, and buy a mini circulator pump that doesn't have reviews. I wish I…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Not noisy for me.: Water Pump Accessory

I don't understand all the reviews of this pump being noisy, I don't think it's noisy at all. I use it in a homemade 3.5 gallon bucket aquarium canister filter. Now that it's submerged in water in a sealed bucket, my noise estimate may obviously be overstated. But this is a great pump, just what I was looking for. It is adjustable, strong but not too strong, very compact, with a suitable nozzle for 1/2 ID hoses, I would buy again. I'll say one thing, and it's very specific to my application…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
