The product is good but wears out over time.

As noted by other reviews the plastic teeth on the gear wear over time - mine just wear out after 8 months of continuous use on my Oceanic BioCube 29 with the original Oceanic pump ( rated 243 gph if I remember correctly). Stuck several times by various debris stuck between the inner teeth and once by a slug stuck between a rotating deflector and a rock. Every 3 or 4 weeks I take it apart and clean it by soaking it in vinegar to remove the coral and remove any debris from my teeth. It does aโ€ฆ

It was cheap and easy to install

I bought this because my local pet store had it in one of their aquariums. I was very impressed with the amount of microbubbles it produced when hooked up to a venturi air valve pressure pump. I already had a venturi pressure pump installed in my pond and have been looking for something that would help increase the amount of oxygen in my pond for some time. Then I looked for it and couldn't find it in any of the stores in town so I searched Amazon and here it is. It was cheap and easy toโ€ฆ

Hydro Flo spins in circles

It spins. and back. and Spinning Yes, it will break in about a year. But it's relatively cheap and doesn't have much competition. I've had 4 or 5 of these in 6-8 years. Some of them were covered with coralline algae on the outside, others remained relatively clean. Those covered in coralline algae lasted about 2 years. Relatively clean lasted about a year. Items encrusted with coral were more likely to be soaked in white vinegar than relatively clean ones. Coincidence? Pros:+ Brings movement to

Great for sediment just keep an eye on the water level

I have an 8 gallon nano tank and the nozzle is great for getting more flow into all corners of the tank (since I have a bunch of live rocks) . This probably reduces the overall current a bit, but because of the waves it's worth increasing the current reaching the rocks. Waves create water movement. So if the top isn't completely covered, pay attention to how high the waves are on each side to adjust the overall water level. Otherwise a lot of salt will have to be cleaned. For me it's theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Long time
