Review on 🐠 Maxi-Jet Pro Pump for Aquariums: 3-in-1 Powerhouse by Marineland by Kim Schenk

Arrived well packaged, brand new in original packaging, fast shipping via Revain Prime. DIY You Tubers who marvel at what an invaluable tool they really are when it comes to aquarium maintenance. There are many things you can do and you can use these pumps. I set up two of these in a 50 gallon aquarium using a DIY setup under gravel using 3/4 PVC pipe! The effects on my fish were indirect, at first they were a bit upset with the circulation, they spent their whole life wondering how they ended up in a stagnant pond, and then suddenly they have this whole awesome current to swim in . ! I can really see the difference this has made to a tank full of five year old goldfish, they have never been happier and it shows! Since fish can't talk, I just want to say Revane on their behalf: and Marineland. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now some specs that might help some of you figure out which pump is right for me? I really couldn't find anything anywhere, not even on the MarineLands website, but after a lot of searching I found this. 10 gallon tank. Just a 110/500 gph pump will provide adequate flow as a circulating or gravel pump. 20 gallon tank. Two 110/500 gph or one 160/750 will provide adequate flow as a circulation or gravel pump. 30 gallon tank. A 160/750 gph will provide adequate flow, but two pumps are recommended for 30+ gravel packs. 40 gallon tank. One 230/1000 for circulation, two for filtering under gravel. 50 gallon tank. One 295/1300 for circulation, two for filtering under gravel. A general rule of thumb when choosing a submersible pump is that the GPH (gallons per minute) should be 5 times what your tank will hold. For example my 50 gallon tank needs a x5 gph speed of around 250 so a 230/1000 is more than enough to circulate but for a gravel setup I chose two of the 295/1300 to run in the to work in tandem. and support each other if someone steps out of line. Of course, one works well, but two is optimal and your fish will thank you. Note that you don't have to use both pumps 24/7, one of these works well when paired with a good air stone. I have read many bad reviews of these pumps and from what I can gather as a 5 year old newbie these people don't know what they are doing and I found some of them bragging about having been an aquarist for twenty years. or more years! You would think that they would definitely read the clear instructions that came with the pump and disassemble and reassemble the device according to the instructions. You would think that they would take out and inspect all the wheels and then put them back in according to the instructions! Many people complain about noise and broken impeller blades and this is simply due to improper inspection, assembly and not following simple instructions. The wheels are magnetic and can be detached during storage or transport. If you remove and reinsert the impeller but hear no sound, the problem is most likely an incorrectly installed impeller or a defective part. If there are any defective parts, first call MarineLand and have them repair them or send you a replacement part. Yes, and one more thing. If your fish is sucked into the circulator, this is a sign of a bad aquarist. There are steps you can take to prevent this from happening and there are many videos on You Tube showing you how to avoid this. Occurrence. If you love your fish like I do, learn how to take care of them, trust me they will thank you. out of its magnetic barrel and swims freely. Because of this, it locks up and generally stops spinning. I've been trying to find a replacement for Marineland 295/1300 pumps but couldn't find it anywhere online. Did I happen to notice that replacement propellers for powerheads are very expensive for some reason? A replacement screw can cost as much as buying a new drive head. So if you're looking to replace yours, it's probably better to buy a new pump than fall for the aftermarket rip-off. It is truly sad that replacement supports and parts are not readily available to the manufacturer's customer base, but it is a Greek tragedy for dealers to take advantage of this customer base. A replacement propeller should be readily available from any manufacturer in the aquarium store and the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a new propeller should not be the same as a new power head! Anyone offering a powerhead prop replacement for ten dollars or less should be avoided if you can. You're just better off ordering a new extended warranty powerhead and letting it eat up the cost of replacing the entire head when the prop comes out. Pretty much a no-brainer if they offer that. tr.
