1. Penn-Plax Airstone Coral Shaped Water Pump
Penn-Plax 54533001 First Impressions
"These being 1600 GPH."Fit perfect on my eheim canister 2213. I've had it running for almost a week, and it's basically silent. Great pump for CPR BakPak protein skimmer. It's been YEARS and no nasty looking tubing. I had to harness the power of the Sun and dunk it into my tank but it worked. Water filter I carry to purify backcountry water when I'm backpacking. I tried weekly 40% water changes, API Clear, and the algae just got worse.

Penn-Plax 54533001 Final Thoughts
"Great Pump."I have a 29 gallon Oceanic Nanocube and have always had poor water circulation. It's been YEARS and no nasty looking tubing. Not noisy, fine bubbles, fair price. The flow rate is perfect, and they fit well inside my cubes sump. Tubing worked out great with use on my Fluval 206. The bubbles are noisier than an air-stone. Very nice pump for my Phosphate reactor.

Item was exactly as described and what I needed. Actually its a no maintenance pump. My aquarium is free of algae and is so clear and pristine.

"No complaints."Bak Pak replacement worked great for me. Then there seemed to be an algal bloom. Replacement pump arrived quickly and my tank was up and running like it should. The most impressive thing about this pump is how quiet it is! Has lasted a few years now without any problems. This causes it to rattle and stop turning altogether. This is hooked up to work with my sponge filter in my 20High.

3. Laguna Impeller Assembly Replacement Kit for PT8120 Submersible Water Pump
Laguna PT8121 First Impressions
"They are performing well."Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. I had to harness the power of the Sun and dunk it into my tank but it worked. It's not very loud, but not silent either. Any tight squeeze and it wants to start a little kink. The clip with prongs to keep the tube in place also doesn't fit and stay in place. Would have loved it if the new black colored hose was available at the time.

"40 gal tank."I've had it running for almost a week, and it's basically silent. I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. I put it in the aquarium, and took the first pic five minutes later. I have not found the replacement bulbs available yet. Not a bad option for when you need an adjustment. I regularly test for nitrate, nitrite, total hardness, alkalinity, pH. Replacement pump arrived quickly and my tank was up and running like it should.

"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. Plugged it in and all was right with this piece of my world.

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.

5. Lifegard Aquatics (2 Pack) 3/4-Inch Double Threaded Bulkheads
Lifegard Aquatics First Impressions
"I love this pump."Anyways, I usually turn it on before i go to bed and off during the day. I have a 150 gallon aquarium with two Pacu's around 14 inches long. Sure one would work okay, but two are optimal and your fish will thank you for it. I was skeptical because of the price, but this thing really is a game changer! Not having a free flow intake is what burns electric pump motors out. Lamp is impossible to see during the day. Hopefully I can get at least 5 years out of this little pump.

Lifegard Aquatics Final Thoughts
"Or leak water all over."Freesea filter saved my fish aquarium. Adjusted flow output by half and my aquarium is now crystal clear. It replaced a Quiet1One 9000 pump which was nothing but trouble since I installed it. I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. Eheim is one of the best filters out there. Smokes their DNA at the reproductive level making them sterile. It was a great relief and manage to order this item at amazon.

"Check it out below."The two combined solved my dirty water problem within a few hours! General and super ich cures seemed to only kill my wallet and change water color. They are some of the quietest pumps on the market! I removed the old pump from my Protein Skimmer and put this one in place. Item was exactly as described and what I needed. It was a great relief and manage to order this item at amazon. Doing the math, this system should be able to run for almost a year.

"Love this spout."I have high end pumps by Eheim and Danner for high flow applications. The unit is silent as far as I can tell, unless you turn the bubbles on. Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank. Fit perfectly and has been working well. The replacement came and it rattled constantly. Water filter I carry to purify backcountry water when I'm backpacking. The clip with prongs to keep the tube in place also doesn't fit and stay in place.

"I add water twice daily."Just what I needed to fix my filter and avoid paying 200 bucks for a new one. Doing the math, this system should be able to run for almost a year.

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.

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.

The pump is quiet and energy efficeint. German reputation for quality still lives on. My old Snapper needed to be cleaned and rebuilt after 6 years of constant use. Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank.

"And this is it."I purchased this replacement since my RIO HF8 died just after 3 years. I was also impressed with the different ways I could use this pump. The bubbles are noisier than an air-stone. The clip with prongs to keep the tube in place also doesn't fit and stay in place. Actually its a no maintenance pump. This had turned my tank from a black algae mess to Crystal clear. The black and white pic is the tight shot to show the setup.
