Not worth the money. Unhappy fish

Waste of money, I didn't see any improvement in fish happiness while they were. If anything, the fish seemed more stressed and unhappy as they swam with the current they created and got blown away just walking through it. Those were 90 gallon tanks. Also, head movement is very limited to the angles you can point at. returned.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I will add later

Scale down your next tank! Works very well - too well

Other reviews say the same thing and they don't lie - they are VERY inflated and we had to exchange them for the next size down. We have a 120 and bought a 1200 which was terrible for the fish and had almost no dead zones for the fish to cool off in the tank - just the poor things spinning backwards. We have the 950 model and it is ideal for creating surface area and movement in an aquarium with adequate quiet areas.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Hard to say

Moves water. But beware

This thing moves more water than the Sicce Voyager at 1600 gallons per hour. I can't say anything about the durability, but it has good suction power and so far so good. It should be noted that the front opening allows small fish to enter and find their end on the propeller. Leaving this device on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week isn't a problem, but if you're turning it on and off you need to make sure that no small fish like bottom dwellers have crawled into the camera before you put it in put…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Useless features

This little bug really pumps water

Very easy to install and run and the circulation in our 29 gallon tank is now excellent. I'm not sure about 2 of the 3 features I was asked to rate. absorbency and thickness. I assume they are referring to flow rate when asking about suction and thickness, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's well made and feels solid, I think we'll go with that.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

This thing turns your aquarium into swells

Love it but not for my poor turtle. I run it sparingly to give him and his fish some current to swim in, but my goodness, it looks like a hurricane has passed when it's over. Make sure your plants and decor are secure as this will rip them apart. For a fish that likes strong currents this thing would be amazing. While it's easy to soften it up by covering it with a screen, the only thing that could improve it is adjustable controls. But at this price. it's just a ridiculous idea.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Works great as a circulator but has a very serious flaw

As this is a great wave generator this is the best I have ever had. The suction cup is a great design and I don't hear any vibration from it. BUT the holes are huge. So big, in fact, that I lost both measles and a 6 inch rosy shark on Death's Blades. I sacrificed some mesh and covered up the holes, but having such a large gap in the front is sloppy and a fatal design flaw in my opinion. 3 stars. If you buy one make sure you install your own safety screen so you don't lose your fish like I did.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Updates available

Performance, suction power, timer and noise at a glance

Noise: Can be loud or rattling when pointed in certain directions - seems random. Maybe due to a loose cardan shaft - but that's to be expected at this price point. Extraction: Not a problem, but certainly not outstanding. Performance: Judging by my photos, note the roughness on the water surface. The pump is mounted 1.5 inches from the surface/slightly tilted up. My 60 gallon tank is 48 inches wide in front, the surface waves fade/stop at about 12 inches. This little pump only gives the fish a

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • The list is long.

Good price but CRAZY too powerful. I put it in my 55g aquarium and pointed it straight down and it still completely snapped my new plants from the other side. (There were no fish in the tank at the time.) It made a huge mess, and no matter how I adjusted or vaped it, it was still too strong. I had to give up and instead decided to just add another filter. I was also concerned that the suction and blades might harm my roasts, although I never gave them a chance to find out. I don't know, I feel…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine
