pump

I do daily WC on my aquarium and the most time consuming part is siphoning the water out using 25 feet Python solely based on difference in height. I wanted to know if I can just put the regular submerged pump on the outlet of the siphon ( which is not submerged in water) and power pump it...

So, as many of you have seen in my fishroom (and other people's fishrooms)....I drain my tanks to a Rubbermaid bin under the tanks and use a sump pump to send it to a utility sink when the bin is full. I'd like my sump pump to not allow the bin to fill quite so full before turning on, so I'm...

Yesterday during water changes, I noticed that the insulation on the power cord for my Mag 7 water pump had pulled away from the pump casing, exposing the individual (still insulated) conductors within the cord. I did not experience any electrical current in the water, but I'm not thrilled with...

Well I am in the market for a new air pump. I have narrowed it down to two pumps the Jemhco LPH60 which is running my fish room now for 10 years. Its starting to loose amount of air. And second pump would be the Alita AL-60 I've heard good things about these pumps. Piston vs Diaphragm . I'm...

So i have my large tank in the basement and I'm looking for a pump to pump the water to the path tub about 20ft away, does anyone use a pump for water changes? if so which one?

I am looking to get a pump that could pump water about 100 feet including going up one story. Any ideas? I'm trying to make my water changes give me less of a workout.

I want to buy a submersible pump to make water changes go quicker. I've never used a submersible pump before, so I'm not sure what to look for. I know the general theory is buy the biggest you can afford, but I'm trying to stay budget friendly, and not buy something that is overkill. Tanks...

I was wondering if anybody ever turn a marine battery for boat into a power source to run an air pump during power outage.

recently, one of my two tetra whisper 60's making an awful humming noise.. considering buying a new one.. i tried to fix it by opening it and inspecting the vibrating fork/ hammer on the diaphragm..does not seem to rub against each other, and the diaphragm is not cracked either.. it seems to...

Currently, I drain my water changes into a shower in my basement, but I've read here about folks using pumps to drain the water in their yards. (I do this with my two small tanks on my first floor.) What kind of pump would I need to pump water into my yard? I'm guessing the water would have...

So anyone have any suggestions for an inexpensive pump? Just need something to get water from a 5 gal bucket to a tank 3 or 4 feet above it. Would be nice if it had adjustable flow rate. Just trying to make wc's easier on tanks that I am not using tap on. Also want to use it to set up a...

I was thinking about using a bilge pump (500 gph) to remove the water from the fish tank and wanted to see if anyone else has tried making an automatic way of water changes. I just wanted to see what someone else thought about it.

At Matt's suggestion, I am looking into getting a few Hurricane 5 air pumps. I have seen that the original maker has stopped producing them and Deep Blue is now putting them out. I can't find any substantial reviews online and was wondering if any of you (in addition to Matt) are using them. I...

I think I will be getting one of the smaller Alita(AL-6A or AL-15A) air pumps. What size is the output from these pumps? Can you link manifolds or do they only have one large input and terminate at the other end?

Do my cichlids need a circulation pump? I only have a 40g. Or will my Emporer 400 be enough ? Sent from my YP-G70 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

What's the best (most reliable and most effective) battery operated air pump available? If the best is incredibly expensive and there is one that is just about as good, but far less expensive then I'd prefer that. Noise would be a tie breaker since I'm only planning on using these in...

Hello, Any suggestions for a Linear Air Pump to run 10 - 40 Gal Breeder Tanks. I had an Alita AL40 years ago and it was pretty good, but I want to know others experiences with other kinds. Thanks for any suggestions. Lorne

I picked up an Eco Plus 3 air pump at the meeting on Saturday (thanks again, Pete!) and I'm looking to set it up to run sponges and box filters on my spare bedroom "fish room". It will end up running about 12 devices. Pete was gracious enough to throw in the plastic gang splitter that comes...

I am picking up 6 free drilled 20 long tanks from a nice guy :) and i want to try cichlids from Lake Tanganyika so i will not be able to run off my other pump. But i do not know how big of a pump i should use and i think my spare iwaki is way over powered @ 25.6 gpm any input would be great:)

I have a rack of 16 tanks 2.5 gallon/5.5 gallon that I want to get one air pump for to run the sponge filters in, what air pump would you guys recommend for this? Thanks Rob
