Not Enough Tiny Bubbles

This product will not produce bubbles small enough to power a skimmer. I saw some reviews that said otherwise, maybe my item was defective. I'm going to switch to an air stone skimmer. In the same price range.

Pros
  • Great for Me
Cons
  • Available in Black Only

Powerful and quiet little pump!

I currently have 3 of these pumps and they all work great. They are quiet and efficient for water circulation. Some other reviews noted an issue with the kink in the venturi. However, if the tubing is kinked, it can be easily corrected by rotating the outlet(s) as necessary to eliminate the kink. I would recommend this pump for its performance and price!

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Broken in the box. - Fish and Aquatic Animals

Received this product for the first time and the plastic caps looked like they were being chewed by an animal and was missing the filter to cover the impeller.

It is not easy to contact the manufacturer, their website is entirely in Chinese. No quality control, no way for customers to get their hands on them. Complete garbage!

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Empty

UPDATE - great replacement for HORRIBLE REPLACEMENT

This is a great pump replacement for my HOB CPR protein skimmer. The original pump that came with the protein skimmer was weak and stopped working after a few months. It's still working like day one, and it's been a few months. No complaints! UPDATE It's been 7 months since I bought this pump and it keeps clogging the air hose. Finally, about a month ago, the number of bubbles dropped sharply and does not ensure the normal functioning of the protein skimmer. In addition, a large number of…

The pump failed after 4 months.

I bought this pump for $22.43. Failed. I bought it in April 2016 and installed it in a 29 gallon Biocube reef rig in May. I built my own protein skimmer out of the back inlet of a tank and this pump fitted perfectly. The pump submerged in the water at the end of May, but didn't turn on at full power until the end of June (because I rode the tank on my bike). As a result, the pump only runs 24 hours a day for 3 months. While he was working it was great. The bubbles were very small and I was able

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Compatibility
