User Ratings: 60 9

NDRTJM First Impressions

"These being 1600 GPH."

It's bulky and must be completely submerged so it's hard to miss in my tank. I tried weekly 40% water changes, API Clear, and the algae just got worse. Absolutely love this product works amazing. Also, added Value Pack-- Bonded Blue& White Poly Filter Pad Floss 600-square-inches. Thanks for Prompt service and I dig this RIO pump, helps keep my tank nice and clean! I had to take it out of the tank and pull off the cover to see if the light was on. I have high end pumps by Eheim and Danner for high flow applications.

NDRTJM Final Thoughts

"The water flows freely!"

Smokes their DNA at the reproductive level making them sterile. I had to take it out of the tank and pull off the cover to see if the light was on. Eheim has always been a dependable product. The unit is larger than I expected. Arrived soon enough, and packaged adequately. The flow rate is perfect, and they fit well inside my cubes sump. Sure one would work okay, but two are optimal and your fish will thank you for it.

2. Zoo Med Labratories Repti Rapids LED Rock Waterfall, Small

User Ratings: 46 18

Zoo Med 26372 First Impressions

"That said."

This filter worked exactly as it should. Adjusted flow output by half and my aquarium is now crystal clear. I believe I have never had a Marineland product before, and am generally impressed. I did everything to combat it that I could. I have a 29 gallon Oceanic Nanocube and have always had poor water circulation. Not having a free flow intake is what burns electric pump motors out. Just what I needed to fix my filter and avoid paying 200 bucks for a new one.

Zoo Med 26372 Final Thoughts

"They last a long time."

My loft gets lots of sun, so algae is a constant battle in my 60 gallon. It's bulky and must be completely submerged so it's hard to miss in my tank. Brand new out of the box and a great price. Pretty much a no brainer there if they offer it. Sure one would work okay, but two are optimal and your fish will thank you for it. I regularly test for nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, alkalinity, pH. The bubbles are noisier than an air-stone.

3. Red Sea Max C-250 / S-Series Replacement Flow 2150 Pump Impeller Part # 50408

Red Sea First Impressions

"This pump works great."

I was happy to find the same barracuda pump at a reasonable price. It would be best to replace the build in half that time. With the amount of light I get I find it necessary to keep it on. One the first few days the water was so cloudy I couldn't see the U. The water is clearer than I've ever seen it. Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. Absolutely love this product works amazing.

Red Sea Final Thoughts

"Works great!"

The COODIA UV filter is behind the big rose quartz on the left. It works, but you may want to get some type of adapter to address this. With the amount of light I get I find it necessary to keep it on. I was happy to find the same barracuda pump at a reasonable price. Has lasted a few years now without any problems. You could use them for circulation pump or wave maker. Work well till the pump itself died.

There are two pieces of wood among the rocks. They are some of the quietest pumps on the market! It would be best to replace the build in half that time.

Aquarium Equip Z021x6 UP Final Thoughts

"No issues."

I turned to Amazon, and sure enough, it was there. Eheim is one of the best filters out there. Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. The unit is silent as far as I can tell, unless you turn the bubbles on. Pretty much a no brainer there if they offer it. The Seller quickly replaced the Venturi pump for me. I took it out of the package and it was perfect.

Lifegard Caged Pond Pump 304 Model First Impressions

"Five Star to the Seller."

It was a great relief and manage to order this item at amazon. This had turned my tank from a black algae mess to Crystal clear. Doing the math, this system should be able to run for almost a year. Only other issue I have is how stiff the tubing is. I purchased this replacement since my RIO HF8 died just after 3 years. Another few days and a surface wipe down and I suspect I'll have crystal clear water. It would be best to replace the build in half that time.
