It works very well!!! It's very easy to install in any wall of the aquarium. My aquatic plants and fishes are happy in their Jungle Vallisneria River!

I like buying aquariums from Petco, especially during the 1/2 off sales.

Would have been nice if the power head output would swivel to direct the water flow, but this one is static and only sends the water flow forward with no directional control. I guess for $18 you get what you pay for. Had I known this ahead of time I would have selected a different power head. Other than that it works as advertised.

It's great that I could get it because of store didn't have it

Bought this powerhead in an emergency situation and had no experience with this brand. Makes a small amount of noise but overall pretty quiet. Good flow for such a small pump. Great value for the price. Can’t speak to the longevity as i’ve only had it for two weeks but so far i really like it.

I purchased this pump yesterday from my local Petco store, so I could try my hand at making a filter using a used water bottle. Details of the filter I made are below the pump review. Background - I’m using this pump in a 30 gallon tank, with a sandy bottom, that is home to 3 “lottery winner” feeder goldfish (random rescues from the pet store that will eventually live out their potentially long lives in an outdoor koi pond). Pros - powerful and relatively quiet, good price, was able to find locally at my store Cons - no specs on or in the box, threaded inlets but what size are they? I would like more attachment options Overall - I’m VERY PLEASED with this pump. It’s powerful and quiet enough given its strength. The output is so strong, I had to build a stone shroud around the outlet to keep my fish from being blown around the tank by the current it produces. This can easily be utilized in a 75 gallon tank. The cost was correct and by creating my own filter I removed myself from the store bought filter cartridge merry-go-round, whereby they are cheaply made, provide poor performance, and generally no replacement parts are available. Sending lousy filters and used cartridges to the landfill is not great for the environment. Filter details - I attached this to a used 1L water bottle (bottom cut out and notched) utilizing 2 #12 O-rings (Outside Diameter 13/16”, Inside Diameter 5/8”). It took a few adjustments to set the correct height of the filter in the tank, as well as the amount and type of media to use (filter floss at the bottom, then activated charcoal, then bio balls). But I’m amazed by the results. My tank cleared up quickly and I’m really pleased with the performance of the pump. Also - the skimmer function of this plastic water bottle pump is strong and the whole set up is making me question the canister set up I have in my larger tank.

i bought this for a 55 gallon aquarium, moderate hardscape, the flow is great. i also added a prefilter to the intake and its still moving plenty of water A+

Dont buy!!! I have had 3 replacement pumps and they all stop working. I was using these pumps to mix salt for my saltwater aquarium once every 2 weeks so I was barley using it. After the fourth time of using these pumps they wouldn't turn on. Save your money and get a better pump
