Upgrade your IM Nuvo 10 with this pump, it's GREAT!

What I didn't like about my IM Nuvo 10 was the pump, there wasn't enough flow. I've used a wave generator in it for the past three years but hated the look and the wasted space in my aquarium. This pump is amazing. I had to slow down the current because it crashed into my Aussie torch but once I slowed it all was perfect. Much quieter than the standard small pump which also comes with a tank. *Note to those buying it for 10 gallons IM. You will need to remove the end cap of the pump to fit theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

dead silence. Moves a decent amount of water.

I have both versions. I used the 538 GPH version for my IM NUVO40 AIO tank as a back pump. I know I use it in my large aquarium to run a UV sterilizer. I use the smaller one on my IM NUVO10 AIO and it's perfect for a reversible camera. Both pumps are silent. I hate the sound of the pump and am currently 10 feet from this pump and can't hear anything. The controls are easy to use. Mine came "blocked" which confused me for a minute but after reading the manual I figured it out. I've heard theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Upgradable

Quiet and powerful! Pump flow cannot be reduced to nominal

Excellent pump. It's small and quiet. It's also probably too strong for the Nuvo 10 at its lowest settings. Its lowest setting is still significantly stronger than the stock pump. The water cannot flow through the system fast enough, so the water level on the main display will rise. Elevated water levels on the main display can cause water to leak out as a siphon forms under the clips that the top sits on. Two small holes drilled in the top of the clips or my original solution with a smallโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Much better than the stock return pump

The stock return pump on my Innovative Marine Fusion 20 was quite noisy. It didn't help that the tank in my home office was about 10 feet from me. I bought this pump based on the great reviews from Revain and other online aquarium retailers. It was a bit expensive, but since it was guaranteed to fit my pool and was also advertised as a very quiet pump, I bought it. As usual, it arrived on time from Revain. After unpacking, the pump makes a solid and well-made impression. All the accessories you

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great pump but not quiet. Quiet, but definitely not quiet.

I've bought 2 of these and a smaller version so far. I would say they are probably the best pump for the money currently. Overall they're not the best, but definitely better than anything I've had in this price range if you care about noise levels. They're definitely not quiet, but they are quiet and the sound they make is much better. Less annoying than AC pumps for me and better than other budget DC pumps I've had. You can hear the whistling sound and the water/impeller spinning at higherโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
