XMSSIT First Impressions

"Exactly as described."

Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank. It replaced a Quiet1One 9000 pump which was nothing but trouble since I installed it. I came home to a bloom explosion and water that looked like kiwi sangria. You need to replace this after cleaning the filter every so often. I took it out of the package and it was perfect. Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. Brand new out of the box and a great price.

XMSSIT Final Thoughts

"It works great."

I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. The Seller quickly replaced the Venturi pump for me. If you have a Biocube 29 HQI, this is a great choice at a reasonable price. Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. It would be best to replace the build in half that time. UV lights do loose their effectiveness over time. Very nice pump for my Phosphate reactor.

Koller Products TM1080 First Impressions

"Functions as described."

Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. Adjusted flow output by half and my aquarium is now crystal clear. Also, some of the connecting pieces are a little loose fitting. It replaced a Quiet1One 9000 pump which was nothing but trouble since I installed it. It was a great relief and manage to order this item at amazon. The unit is larger than I expected. Fit my Eheim Double Tap Quick Release perfectly.

Koller Products TM1080 Final Thoughts

"Great pump."

Company is very responsive to any questions or concerns. I felt that was way to soon so I refused to purchase another from them. A must for keeping ick at bay and snails and keeps you're water pretty too. I believe I have never had a Marineland product before, and am generally impressed. I believe I have never had a Marineland product before, and am generally impressed. I wasn't sure it was even on when I plugged it in. Then there seemed to be an algal bloom.

3. Sicce Syncra Replacement Impeller – Assembly Accessory Part, Use in Aquariums, Ponds, Fountains

User Ratings: 64

Sicce First Impressions

"Nice compact design."

And another and there's a decoration! 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. 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.

Sicce Final Thoughts

"I add water twice daily."

Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. I have a 150 gallon aquarium with two Pacu's around 14 inches long. I've had it running for almost a week, and it's basically silent. Sure one would work okay, but two are optimal and your fish will thank you for it. The flow rate is perfect, and they fit well inside my cubes sump. This had turned my tank from a black algae mess to Crystal clear. Plugged it in and all was right with this piece of my world.

Tunze 7090.300 First Impressions

"No issues."

Also, some of the connecting pieces are a little loose fitting. The flow rate is perfect, and they fit well inside my cubes sump. The COODIA UV filter is behind the big rose quartz on the left. Company is very responsive to any questions or concerns. I was also impressed with the different ways I could use this pump. Arrived soon enough, and packaged adequately. The water has cleared considerably, but it is still a tiny bit milky.

Tunze 7090.300 Final Thoughts

"Perfect fit."

Just what I needed to fix my filter and avoid paying 200 bucks for a new one. I removed the old pump from my Protein Skimmer and put this one in place. This new whisper quiet Eheim 1000 pump has solved all my water quality problems. If you have a Biocube 29 HQI, this is a great choice at a reasonable price. Absolutely love this product works amazing. Replacing my 15 yr old aquarium hoses due to old one hardening. Great pump for CPR BakPak protein skimmer.

Laguna PT615 First Impressions

"The water flows freely!"

It's totally silent, runs very cool, and is reliable so far. The replacement came and it rattled constantly. The water is clear and fish are healthy. They like lining up and swimming against it. The two combined solved my dirty water problem within a few hours! I would've spent more on just an air pump and stone than I did for this. Any tight squeeze and it wants to start a little kink.

"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. I had to harness the power of the Sun and dunk it into my tank but it worked. I came home to a bloom explosion and water that looked like kiwi sangria. Smokes their DNA at the reproductive level making them sterile. The two combined solved my dirty water problem within a few hours! The pump is quiet and energy efficeint.

6. AquaClear Complete Impeller Housing with Flow Control for Powerhead Pumps

AquaClear A16620 First Impressions

"Awesome device."

I wasn't sure it was even on when I plugged it in. Third pic was taken 15 days after the first pic, 5 days after the second. I have high end pumps by Eheim and Danner for high flow applications. Replacing my 15 yr old aquarium hoses due to old one hardening. Not noisy, fine bubbles, fair price. After two more days of running, I turned it off because of the current. I believe I have never had a Marineland product before, and am generally impressed.

"Great Pump."

Also, added Value Pack-- Bonded Blue& White Poly Filter Pad Floss 600-square-inches. The Aquatop seem and the flow feels more powerful.

"The water is gorgeous."

I was happy to find the same barracuda pump at a reasonable price. I ordered this Pump and the next day it arrived. Until my local shop told me to get Eheims. Its pump apparentely was too small for the tank. There are two pieces of wood among the rocks. This had turned my tank from a black algae mess to Crystal clear. Also, added Value Pack-- Bonded Blue& White Poly Filter Pad Floss 600-square-inches.

"Complete wall of green."

It's bulky and must be completely submerged so it's hard to miss in my tank. The flow rate is great for my 20 gallon. Thanks for Prompt service and I dig this RIO pump, helps keep my tank nice and clean! Replacement pump arrived quickly and my tank was up and running like it should. It's been YEARS and no nasty looking tubing. My aquarium is free of algae and is so clear and pristine. Doing the math, this system should be able to run for almost a year.

SunSun JVP-110 Final Thoughts

"Works well."

Fit perfect on my eheim canister 2213. 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 causes it to rattle and stop turning altogether. General and super ich cures seemed to only kill my wallet and change water color. I have a 150 gallon aquarium with two Pacu's around 14 inches long. I figured it must have been left over from manufacturing or it had broken in transit.

"Strong dual action flow."

I made a highball last night with it. Pretty much a no brainer there if they offer it. Water filter I carry to purify backcountry water when I'm backpacking. Closing the shades and a massive water change could not hold it at bay. I made a highball last night with it. Just what I needed to fix my filter and avoid paying 200 bucks for a new one. I bought this to address an algae bloom.
