Review on 🐠 TERAPUMP Authentic Long Nozzle Water Changer Flow Controller - Ideal for Aquariums, Ponds, and Fish Tanks. BPA Free by Kristina Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not as good as the reviews say. Similar pumps cost less than $10.

I previously wrote a review that was removed by Amazon and did not answer my additional questions about why it was removed. Either way, the point is that if you send the company a link to your review, the raving positive reviews here can be linked to a subsequent free offer. In terms of actual use, it's fine as a cleaner. Almost all of these pumps work the same way. It's a bit trickier to use if you have a large tank in height as the suction/flow isn't as good when the pipe goes over the top of the tank into a bucket on the floor. I have a 12" and an 18". If you know how to vacuum with a regular vacuum with a hose, that's even better. Because then you might just get one with a longer tube. This is normal for a 12 inch. Something of the sort - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RK40VY (I get nothing from linking this product here - I just linked Revain's selection to give you an idea of what you really are looking for need) Secondly, the pump is not good if you have juvenile fish in the aquarium. If it's a regular vacuum, they'll probably stay alive for the most part, even if you accidentally collect them in a bucket. Look again at the link above. This will likely damage the skillet in two places - the suction cups and the pumping mechanism. This is a good pump but not at this price point and I wanted others to know that most of the reviews here can be influenced by the free offering.

Pros
  • Flow Control: Water flow can be controlled by disconnecting the flow control tube
Cons
  • Unreliable
