Questions
Is the flow rate on Pondmaster mag-drive pump adjustible?
- No. You can adjust the output rate by placing a diverting valve inline. These are adjustable valves(spouts) that send water in two directions. DFS can explain these to you if you're not familiar with them.

What voltage do Pondmaster Mag-Drive Pumps come in? Where I live it's 220v.
- They work off 120v AC. I don't think they can also work with 220v. There is no switch to change the voltage.

Is pump listed below best to use for my concern?
- Thank you for your question. The head height of this pump is 10' 6". As long as you are not pump water higher than that, this pump should work fine for your situation.

What pump should I use with a Fishmate PUV-6000 filter?
- Thank you for your question. A filter with a maximum gallons per hour rating (GPH) of 3,000 and with a 1.25-1.5" inlet/outlet will work for this filter. The Lifegard Aquatics PG 2700 Pump is one example of a pump that may be used. Here is a link to this pump and to the other pond pums we offer: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=5163+5164+28420&pcatid=28420 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pond-supplies/pond-water-pump/ps/c/5163/5164

Does it hurt these pumps if the discharge volume is throttled down?
- I haven't used this particular pump but in general centrifugal pumps can be throttled and mag-drive adds another level of protection. If you think about the "max head " chart, lifting the outlet to a higher level is exactly the same as "throttling down", it simply applies back pressure to the impeller. In fact ( I hope this isn't too much info) the opposite is true, a centrifugal can sometimes burn out its motor by over pumping. ie. increasing the rated flow by either feeding with another pump or having a long downward discharge aided by gravity apply suction to the outlet..

Mage 9.5 or Mag 12
- rkoola1, Thank you for your question. The size pump you choose for your return line will depend on the gallon per hour rating that is recommended for your sump and overflow box. You would want to match the GPH of the pump to the flow rate of these items. This will ensure you do not overflow one or the other by having a pump that is too slow or too fast. mal

Help! The submersible pump on my 3.7 gallon is making loud motor sounds and spitting out small bubbles that by morning cover the whole top of the tank. I’m scared for my fishes life what should I do?
I have a pond in with my water dragon with a activated carbon filter. Is it safe for him to drink? I also used a water conditioner from petco. He is very lethargic and not eating.
My gold fish is floating around like a ballon, not moving it’s fins and floating upside down and staying next to air pump.
My pond goldfish had swim bladder issues so has been inside for 6 weeks. He was pretty active and I brought in another to keep him company. Since Feb 1st, he is at the bottom, eating a bit especially when I drop it right in from of him. No external signs of any disease that I can seen. Nitrites are high as tank is cycling. I am adding Prime, aquarium salt (1 gram) and 30% water changes. Nitrite converting bacteria is establishing now. Any thought on what it could be and what to do? Thank you
If I have a 1-gallon tank for 1 betta fish how long do I keep my filter on? My filter is GPH is adjustable.
I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
I have my 1-year-old goldfish in a 5-gallon tank. I do frequent water changes and he has a filer and an air bubble thing. I plan on taking him to my grandfather's outdoor koi/goldfish pond when he outgrows his tank. His fish are really big.Is it safe for me to transfer him to this?Even if he doesn't outgrow it soon in a year and a half I will be moving and he will have to go there anyway. Is there any tips to help him transfer easily? My room is quite warm. Should I do it when weather is warm?
So I've been thinking about getting an axolotl, but I'm a bit confused as I've never had any type of aquarium. My question is: I've been told to get an Aquaclear 50 HBO filter (plus a sponge one for extra bio media), and to slow the flow by placing plants and things under it. But this specific model's slowest flow is 250 l/h, which might be too little for a 90l tank. But if I set it up to 370 or so (which I find would be the best), the flow might be too strong for the axie! Any solutions? <3
Reds's aquarium is so very cloudy. Can't see turtle til she surfaces! Don't know what caused this or what to do. Ordered vacuum but it won't be here until Friday. Please Help. Put in stuff for ammonia.
I just purchased Imagitarium Ammonia-Reducing filter media cubes from Petco and there are no instructions for how to use. I have a 5 gallon tank with a submerged Built-in filtration system how many cubes do I use and how do I put them in my filter? Please provide the instructions thank you for your time.
