TERA PUMP Electric Fish Tank Water Pump: Submersible Pump with Hose & Filter Suction Tube Review

I was frustrated with the manual pump aquarium cleaner because it was slow and kept falling apart and spilling water all over the place! I was ready to end my aquarium hobby, but this pump changed everything. It's much easier and faster. I use it to empty 15 gallons and then fill it up with water I made the day before. (ventilation and heating) The hose is perfect for my sink. I use a plastic clamp from an old handheld vacuum to attach it to the tank and hold it in place. I'll shovel the gravel

Liked it - does a good job of removing water and dirt from the otherwise difficult to access aquarium bowl. Tried a few other things and that was the only thing that worked. Note that if you're pumping water from a tank that's taller than the one you're pumping water into, turning it off won't stop the flow - it will create a siphon and water will flow until you remove the pump head from the water. Taking off a star because it doesn't fit the opening of a standard 5 gallon water jug, so I can't

When I first bought this I thought it was some sort of gravel cleaner, although it's not, I still use it as one of those. This is pretty much an electronic water siphon that took me almost 2 years to complete. I've never had trouble clogging even the dirtiest tanks. If you have a simple aquarium where the fish don't produce too much waste, then this option is for you. I've used it to drain my tanks in a pinch with no problems. Definitely recommend, it's been taking so long now. I had to replace

This is a great solution for those who have all in one systems and need to clean the rear chambers of the tank. I have Innovative Marine 80 gallons. It worked great. Pros - it's fast! Whether you're filling water or pulling water, the hose is extra long, giving you plenty of hose between your tank and buckets. Comes with metal hose clamps to keep your hose from breaking at both ends. Very easy to clean. Cons - The on/off button is a little wobbly. At first I thought my unit was defective (the…

Despite the bad reviews about the PSU failing, I bought TeraPump. After moving only 10 gallons of water, the power was cut, the red LED was not lit, the pump was unresponsive. I called TeraPump, they quickly sent me a new kit and I sent the defective one back. The pump works great in terms of ease of use and flow for water changes (not too hard, not too soft - slow) or more recently for NR delivery on a full tank by extracting 5 gallons (from 55), adding NR and pump back. By the way, this is an

just used it for the first time and was impressed - i only have a 40 gallon tank and it drained the water in a flash for my weekly change. If you have a large tank you will scold yourself for not buying one sooner and it will be difficult to use at less than 30g as it will deplete it before you can turn it off. My fish didn't seem to hatch at all, in fact my little angelfish was very curious and "everything on the grill" so I had to keep chasing him away. My only suggestion for improvement…

This water pump is amazing. It works exactly as described. The package includes a water pump, power adapter, drain hose, metal spout and clamps. hose length 3 m, metal spout attached to the hose; to steer the water more easily. Be careful with the metal grommet, the ends may be cut off if you press directly on the hole when inserting into the hose. I learned it the hard way. The ends could be more rounded. I'm not deducting a star for that, but consider it. This shouldn't be a problem once it's
