Hi, I am in the process of finishing my small fish room. I would like to have a sponge in every tank and tumblers in a few others. Here is the list of tanks the pump will be supplying.
Thanks for any help.
8-20 gallon tanks
4-15 gallon tanks
4-29 gallon tanks
1-37 gallon tank
1-55 gallon tank
9-10 gallon tanks
2-2.5 gallon tanks
2-5.5 gallon tanks

I have a Jehmco pump that needs to be cleaned out. I'll issue one warning - the screws are in so tight that I can't take it apart to clean it. I managed to clear out the air intake hole a little bit, but it needs to be opened up and I can't open it. At this point, one screw is stripped, 2 will come out, and the 4th will end up stripped like the 1st if I keep trying.

It kind of sucks to feel like I'm going to have to replace it considering it probably works fine but I can't get into it to fix the problem.

Yikes. I ordered it this morning. I will put a filter pad over the intake i guess. I have tools to take out a stripped screw if that happens to me. Thanks for the good info.

Just wanted to post an update.
This pump is awesome! I have it running with 19 outlets and 5 extra outlets open all the way to bleed off some extra air. This is a very powerful pump and can't even hear it. I would highly recommend this for someone looking to set up a fishroom with 15+ tanks.
