Great Addition to My Fish Tank

This small but mighty aquarium pump is a great addition to my pet supplies. As a result of my tests, I determined that it provides efficient and reliable filtration for my fish tank. The compact size allows for easy placement and the low noise level means it doesn't disrupt the peaceful environment of my aquatic pets. However, the included instructions were a bit lacking and I had to do some extra research to properly set it up..

Pros
  • Efficiently cleans aquariums up to 10 gallons
Cons
  • Takes up space in the aquarium

Buy at least one size larger than you think you need...

Well… He claimed there were 57 reviews but when I clicked on them they were gone. What about it? In any case, I play it safe and definitely buy a size larger than what you think you need. I first bought the what wz version at up to 55g... and returned it off the floor. So if you're thinking that it can rock up, up and down off the ground on a standard height stand in a 55g tank, you're kidding! However, I have not tested this theory. I just don't see it happening. I want to use Tetra air pumps.

Pros
  • 1.7w pump with single air outlet pumps 1000 cc per minute.
Cons
  • Hard to say
