  • Strong, quiet circulation pump that improves tank water flow
Size: 480 GPH
This aquarium circulation pump delivers impressive water movement for its compact size. The 480 GPH flow helps eliminate dead spots and keeps water well-oxygenated, which is great for maintaining a healthy fish tank environment. It runs quietly and the suction cup mount holds securely in place, making positioning simple. Installation is quick and the pump feels durable for everyday use. Overall, a reliable and effective wave maker that’s a solid choice for improving tank circulation. ... show more

  • I love these things!
Size: 480 GPH
I love these things. I have two of them in my 75 gallon (opposite ends, creating a oval gyre). They work great, I do disable once a week for cleaning and that is it. The suction cups work great, the flow is great, 0 noise level. I highly recommend these.

  • Cheap and Works
Size: 480 GPH
The media could not be loaded. Bought this because the tank wasn’t staying clean and i was vacuuming constantly. This did the trick! The problem being is sometimes the suction reverses or spins and has no flow. Turn on and off a few times and it works perfect again. I will also say the sand moved a lot so i added stones where the sand was pushed by the current. This is in a 10 gallon tank. Used about 2 months now on a timer during the day. No fish have died or been stressed ... show more

  • Works Well For 2 1/2 Months, But Then...
Size: 480 GPH
Plenty of power for the price, but not too much power for my tank (40 gallons). Really clears up the water in combination with an in-tank foam filter and an exterior canister filter. The fish also love to play in the current it creates. However, as another Amazon customer ('mike') mentioned in their review ('Great Until It Stops Working'), mine stopped working after the exact same amount of time. I purchased mine on Sept. 9 and noticed it was no longer working on Nov. 24; and it was no longer returnable. Initially I couldn't figure out how to take it apart, but again thanks to mike, I was able to twist apart the basket. (There's a simple notch-thread in the middle of the basket, but it seems to be threaded backwards.) I pulled out the impeller and, not finding any obstruction, just put it back together, put it back in the tank, and plugged it back in. It was working fine again. It seems like the impeller gets disconnected from whatever spins it. Initially I thought this may have been due to the fish nudging the basket around, or that the wave maker should be mounted horizontally or pointing upward so that the impeller doesn't gradually slide away from whatever spins it. So I adjusted the angle too. I also attached a piece of thread to the basket so I would know on sight whether or not it was working (see picture). On 12/2, the propeller was still spinning but the flow was dramatically reduced. Again the impeller seemed to have slipped away from whatever spins it. I pushed it back in, increased the angle upward. On 12/3 the same issue recurred. I took out the impeller, which had a fair amount of play (a gap between the elements on the thin metal rod that runs through them). I pushed on both ends to try to reduce the amount of play, put it back together again, and it's working again. But I'm really sick of dealing with this over and over. I expect it to fail again, at which point I will upgrade. I don't recommend this product. 12/8: The wave maker failed again. Throwing it out. Don't buy this, it's a piece of junk. ... show more

  • Great Little Wave Maker for Small Tanks
Size: 480 GPH
The AQUANEAT Circulation Pump is a compact and efficient solution for adding water movement to smaller aquariums. Its 480 GPH flow rate is powerful enough to keep the tank clean and simulate natural currents without disturbing fish or plants. The suction cup mount holds the pump firmly in place, even after weeks of use. It runs quietly, which is a big plus if your tank is in a bedroom or quiet space. The swivel head makes it easy to direct the flow where it’s needed most. Setup was straightforward, and it started working right out of the box with no issues. For the price and performance, this pump is a solid addition to any small to mid-size tank. ... show more

  • Tusami maker!
Size: 480 GPH
I bought this thinking it would help circulate the debris on the bottom of my planted 20 gallon sand tank. When I turned it on it immediately started sucking in my floating plants, blowing over and ripping up my plants! I was terrified it was going to suck up my fish! I couldn't shut it off fast enough! There is no adjustment level, nor any screens to prevent anything from getting sucked into the propellers! What the heck?? The video is nothing like what happened in my tank! The fish, (and ME!) were terrified. Noise level? I was too busy trying to save things to notice any noise, except my swearing and screaming! It certainly moves the water though! ... show more

  • Perfect addition to my turtle pond
Size: 480 GPH
Ordered one of these for my turtle pond which is a 5' round kiddie pool and it works great. Just the right amount of power to provide the level of current without being too much. My female turtle really loves it and it works well to keep the entire pool temp regulated so there isn't cold spots. The only problem I ran into was that the suction cup not staying in place, so I've ordered some 1" replacement suction cups that should hopefully work better. Highly recommended! ... show more
