AquaTop First Impressions

"Great pump!"

I regularly test for nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, alkalinity, pH. This had turned my tank from a black algae mess to Crystal clear. There are all sorts of things you can do and setup's you can apply these pump's too. Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. The COODIA UV filter is behind the big rose quartz on the left. The pump is quiet and energy efficeint. The water has cleared considerably, but it is still a tiny bit milky.

AquaTop Final Thoughts

"Last one ran for 8 years."

This UV sterilizer beat my expectations. If you have turtles and want to circulate the air around this is for you! UV lights do loose their effectiveness over time. If you have turtles and want to circulate the air around this is for you! Fit perfect on my eheim canister 2213. Very well-made product and fits on a filter I am using that is not from this company. I figured it must have been left over from manufacturing or it had broken in transit.

2. AquaIllumination AI Nero 3 Submersible Wavemaker Pump w/Fish Guard - 2000 GPH

User Ratings: 65 12

AquaIllumination First Impressions

"30 gal tank."

I tried weekly 40% water changes, API Clear, and the algae just got worse. Pretty much a no brainer there if they offer it. Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. Smokes their DNA at the reproductive level making them sterile. Closing the shades and a massive water change could not hold it at bay. UV lights do loose their effectiveness over time. I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this.

AquaIllumination Final Thoughts

"It works great."

I took it out of the package and it was perfect. The most impressive thing about this pump is how quiet it is! It tasted delicious and looked great in my glass. Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank. Replacing my 15 yr old aquarium hoses due to old one hardening. Great pump for CPR BakPak protein skimmer. Easy to use, but has no instructions, at least mine didn't.

UEETEK Final Thoughts

"Did the job perfectly."

Replacement pump arrived quickly and my tank was up and running like it should. Any tight squeeze and it wants to start a little kink. It's not very loud, but not silent either. Tubing worked out great with use on my Fluval 206. The black and white pic is the tight shot to show the setup. I realy liked the instruction manual and accessories. They are some of the quietest pumps on the market!

4. Marineland Eclipse 6 Replacement Pump Impeller Assembly (Part #PR1704, Model 99B)

MarineLand First Impressions

"Nice pump."

I have a 150 gallon aquarium with two Pacu's around 14 inches long. Work well till the pump itself died. Would have loved it if the new black colored hose was available at the time. It's totally silent, runs very cool, and is reliable so far. The most impressive thing about this pump is how quiet it is! There are all sorts of things you can do and setup's you can apply these pump's too. I had to harness the power of the Sun and dunk it into my tank but it worked.

"Flow is great!"

I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. It tasted delicious and looked great in my glass. Would have loved it if the new black colored hose was available at the time. Doing the math, this system should be able to run for almost a year. Anyways, I usually turn it on before i go to bed and off during the day. The water has cleared considerably, but it is still a tiny bit milky. It's totally silent, runs very cool, and is reliable so far.

5. Laguna Fountain Head Waterbell for PowerJet Pumps, Small

Laguna PT660 First Impressions

"Give my fishes new life!"

Easy to use, but has no instructions, at least mine didn't. The two combined solved my dirty water problem within a few hours! Just a quick note about UV sterilizers in general. I've had it running for almost a week, and it's basically silent. Bought it to replace my stock water pumps for JBJ nanocube 28g.

Laguna PT660 Final Thoughts

"20 gal tank."

My loft gets lots of sun, so algae is a constant battle in my 60 gallon. I regularly test for nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, alkalinity, pH. With the amount of light I get I find it necessary to keep it on. Actually its a no maintenance pump. Eheim is one of the best filters out there. Not a bad option for when you need an adjustment. If you have turtles and want to circulate the air around this is for you!

"Eheim is a great company!"

This causes it to rattle and stop turning altogether. They are some of the quietest pumps on the market! Hopefully I can get at least 5 years out of this little pump. The best price by far from anything i could find online. I put it in the aquarium, and took the first pic five minutes later. Work well till the pump itself died.

DANNER MANUFACTURING 16575 Final Thoughts

"Works well."

Anyways, I usually turn it on before i go to bed and off during the day. You could use them for circulation pump or wave maker. I came home to a bloom explosion and water that looked like kiwi sangria. After two more days of running, I turned it off because of the current. Plugged it in and all was right with this piece of my world. Also, some of the connecting pieces are a little loose fitting. The Aquatop seem and the flow feels more powerful.

7. Eheim 6850 Pump Cover for 1048 Universal Pump

Eheim 6850 First Impressions

"Awesome wavemaker!"

My aquarium is free of algae and is so clear and pristine. You need to replace this after cleaning the filter every so often. I purchased this replacement since my RIO HF8 died just after 3 years. It also couldn't be easier to install. Everything is still clear 4 days later. Any tight squeeze and it wants to start a little kink.

Eheim 6850 Final Thoughts

"Thanks again!"

I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. Fit my Eheim Double Tap Quick Release perfectly. This filter worked exactly as it should. One the first few days the water was so cloudy I couldn't see the U. It works, it's not too expensive, and I'm happy. Once I put this filter in I saw results in 2 days and better results by day 5. The unit is silent as far as I can tell, unless you turn the bubbles on.

"Still happy."

I have a 150 gallon aquarium with two Pacu's around 14 inches long. Best thing I've gotten for my tank in the year we’ve been fighting the algae issue. I made a highball last night with it. It's totally silent, runs very cool, and is reliable so far. Anyways, I usually turn it on before i go to bed and off during the day. My loft gets lots of sun, so algae is a constant battle in my 60 gallon. The Seller quickly replaced the Venturi pump for me.

"30 gal tank."

I have high end pumps by Eheim and Danner for high flow applications. Brand new out of the box and a great price. Easy to use, but has no instructions, at least mine didn't. I put it in the aquarium, and took the first pic five minutes later. I had to take it out of the tank and pull off the cover to see if the light was on. Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank. I believe I have never had a Marineland product before, and am generally impressed.

"As described."

I can not say enough about this great product. My loft gets lots of sun, so algae is a constant battle in my 60 gallon. Three days later everything was perfectly clear. I have a 29 gallon Oceanic Nanocube and have always had poor water circulation. Adjusted flow output by half and my aquarium is now crystal clear. Would have loved it if the new black colored hose was available at the time. I wasn't sure it was even on when I plugged it in.

HANJIAONI First Impressions

"That said."

The water has cleared considerably, but it is still a tiny bit milky. Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. They like lining up and swimming against it. The water is clearer than I've ever seen it. Anyways, I usually turn it on before i go to bed and off during the day. Pretty much a no brainer there if they offer it. Only four stars because I cant tell if the uv light is working while it's on.

It's not very loud, but not silent either. The best price by far from anything i could find online. The unit is larger than I expected. Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. I was happy to find the same barracuda pump at a reasonable price. I was also impressed with the different ways I could use this pump. Replacing my 15 yr old aquarium hoses due to old one hardening.
