"Nice compact design."

The black and white pic is the tight shot to show the setup. Once I put this filter in I saw results in 2 days and better results by day 5. This filter worked exactly as it should. It's bulky and must be completely submerged so it's hard to miss in my tank. Great pump for CPR BakPak protein skimmer. I ordered this Pump and the next day it arrived. So now we all understand; this thing is legit.

"Functions as described."

And another and there's a decoration! I felt that was way to soon so I refused to purchase another from them. It was a great relief and manage to order this item at amazon. Best thing I've gotten for my tank in the year we’ve been fighting the algae issue. The flow rate is great for my 20 gallon. The COODIA UV filter is behind the big rose quartz on the left. General and super ich cures seemed to only kill my wallet and change water color.

"Last one ran for 8 years."

The water has cleared considerably, but it is still a tiny bit milky. German reputation for quality still lives on. And another and there's a decoration! It tasted delicious and looked great in my glass. This causes it to rattle and stop turning altogether. It's totally silent, runs very cool, and is reliable so far. Love it, I have used it here and there for filling up my tanks easier.

"Works perfect."

Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank. The Aquatop seem and the flow feels more powerful. Replacing my 15 yr old aquarium hoses due to old one hardening. I removed the old pump from my Protein Skimmer and put this one in place. Fit my Eheim Double Tap Quick Release perfectly. Fit perfectly and has been working well. I have the Eheim 3000 also and both pumps are well worth the money!

Red Sea 42083 First Impressions

"Thanks again!"

Very well-made product and fits on a filter I am using that is not from this company. The hose is high quality and hooked right up to my new Eheim setup. This filter worked exactly as it should. It works, but you may want to get some type of adapter to address this. Eheim is one of the best filters out there. Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. Very nice pump for my Phosphate reactor.

"And there's another!"

If you have turtles and want to circulate the air around this is for you! I would defiantly consider getting another. Work well till the pump itself died. I was happy to find the same barracuda pump at a reasonable price. Absolutely love this product works amazing. It also couldn't be easier to install. Also, some of the connecting pieces are a little loose fitting.

"Trustworthy."

Just what I needed to fix my filter and avoid paying 200 bucks for a new one. Plugged it in and all was right with this piece of my world. I turned to Amazon, and sure enough, it was there. I have not found the replacement bulbs available yet. The clip with prongs to keep the tube in place also doesn't fit and stay in place. Second pic was taken 10 days later. Brand new out of the box and a great price.

Red Sea 42083 Final Thoughts

"So far, it's not working."

Pretty much a no brainer there if they offer it. Another few days and a surface wipe down and I suspect I'll have crystal clear water. Smokes their DNA at the reproductive level making them sterile. If you have turtles and want to circulate the air around this is for you! Great pump for CPR BakPak protein skimmer. I have high end pumps by Eheim and Danner for high flow applications. There are two pieces of wood among the rocks.

"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.

6. Bulkhead Fitting 2” Slip x Slip - 8/Pack – Aquarium – Heavy Duty - Premium Bulkheads – Made ...

User Ratings: 79

Precision Marine First Impressions

"Money well spent."

It tasted delicious and looked great in my glass. Then there seemed to be an algal bloom. It's been YEARS and no nasty looking tubing. A must for keeping ick at bay and snails and keeps you're water pretty too. Fit perfect on my eheim canister 2213. I made a highball last night with it. Would have loved it if the new black colored hose was available at the time.

  • Bulkhead Fitting 2” Slip x Slip - 8/Pack – Aquarium – Heavy Duty - Premium Bulkheads – Made in The USA
  • ✔︎ Our bulkhead fittings are thicker than standard schedule 40 PVC fittings. This makes the bulkhead fitting heavy-duty and more durable than standard schedule 40 fittings. This also sets us apart from many competitors and allows our fittings to be used where lower quality fittings, especially those manufactured overseas, would crack or break. PERFECT FOR HYDROPONICS SYSTEMS - WE SHIP FAST AND FREE via PRIORITY MAIL or UPS.
  • ✔︎ QUALITY GASKETS: All of our bulkhead fittings use high-quality, UV- stabilized, EPDM gaskets. The significance of this is that the gasket is treated to resist wear and weathering if exposed to the outside elements. Our bulkhead gaskets use a softer material giving the fitting a better grip on the mating surfaces for a reliable seal.
  • ✔︎ TAPERED ENDS: All of our bulkhead fittings have tapered ends. This taper allows our bulkhead fittings to accommodate any brand of pipe used as they can be slightly different. Tapered ends are used on all Domestic Nominal PVC pipe fittings sizes. Most imported bulkhead fittings do NOT adhere to this standard.
  • ✔︎ QUALITY CONTROL: All of our bulkheads are Made in America. The ability to oversee the manufacturing processes produces a higher quality product. Many other bulkhead distributors have their products manufactured overseas, making quality control - uncontrollable. USES A 3” HOLE FOR PROPER FIT.
  • ✔︎ CUSTOMER SERVICE - Precision Marine has been serving the wholesale trade since 1997 and are always available should you have any questions. WE SHIP FAST AND FREE via PRIORITY MAIL or UPS. SHIPS SAME DAY IF ORDERED BY 2PM CST. Questions? Send us a message

"Highly recommend!"

It works, it's not too expensive, and I'm happy. Brand new out of the box and a great price. I ordered this Pump and the next day it arrived. Very nice pump for my Phosphate reactor. Freesea filter saved my fish aquarium. Very well-made product and fits on a filter I am using that is not from this company. Any tight squeeze and it wants to start a little kink.

The flow rate is great for my 20 gallon. My loft gets lots of sun, so algae is a constant battle in my 60 gallon. My loft gets lots of sun, so algae is a constant battle in my 60 gallon.

"Adequate description."

I put it in the aquarium, and took the first pic five minutes later. If you're settling up any Eheim filter system, use the actual OEM green tubing. I made a highball last night with it. Just a quick note about UV sterilizers in general. And another and there's a decoration! Has lasted a few years now without any problems. A must for keeping ick at bay and snails and keeps you're water pretty too.

"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.

"50 gal tank."

Love it, I have used it here and there for filling up my tanks easier. I figured it must have been left over from manufacturing or it had broken in transit. I have high end pumps by Eheim and Danner for high flow applications. Very well-made product and fits on a filter I am using that is not from this company. It replaced a Quiet1One 9000 pump which was nothing but trouble since I installed it. Arrived soon enough, and packaged adequately. I had to harness the power of the Sun and dunk it into my tank but it worked.

One the first few days the water was so cloudy I couldn't see the U. Company is very responsive to any questions or concerns. I believe I have never had a Marineland product before, and am generally impressed. Easy to use, but has no instructions, at least mine didn't. After two more days of running, I turned it off because of the current. This is hooked up to work with my sponge filter in my 20High. Once I put this filter in I saw results in 2 days and better results by day 5.
