Super Aquatic VP-102 1300 GPH Powerhead Pump, by Super Aquatic

They came as advertised. I wish they had a magnetic backing rather than the suction cup. They also have am extremely short cord, from the inside of my tank to the power strip inside my stand it's probably about 4.5-5' and the cord on this powerhead couldn't reach.The flow is definitely 1300 gph, I purchased it for a 150 gallon freshwater planted tank and it was too strong. Kind of disappointed with that but not the product's fault.If they made the mounting stronger and lengthened the cord this would be a 5-star product especially given its price compared to others.

The water flow on these is great. They do hum louder than some fans I've used. I bought two for a 125 gallon aquarium with turtles. The turtles move the direction of the fans and there is no way to tighten them in place. There is a little space between the fans and suction cup. If you separate them to get a good seal with the cups, then it is very difficult to reattach the fans with a 1/4 turn screw cap attachment which holds a ball joint (think of how your shoulder or hips sit in their sockets). This is what holds the fans in place. You cannot tighten them down any more which means if you have larger aquarium pets, they may not be the best choice.

Definitely powerful, so on that side I would recommend them.I did not know they did not come with magnetic holders (every other brand I have ever bought does).I have a 40 gallon and a 100 gallon tank, and cannot get the suction cups to hold for love or money. They just slide down the tank wall until they drop (if you look at the size of the suction cup compared to the powerhead you can see why-- and they are also deceptively heavy).I have also searched the internet in vain to find alternative holders and the only alternative I have been able to find thus far run $29-$35-- which is twice the price of these powerheads. Ouch.I have also tried contacting the maker, and it turns out they are based in Hong Kong, and thus don't sell parts directly. So good look with that. I have sent them an email for more information, we'll see if I hear anything back...For my money, it is will worth spending another $10-$15 and buying a reputable brand such as Hydra that supply magnetic holders...

Holy cow. Maybe I should have read more reviews. Purchased the 2-pack 1300 gph figuring for the price, they'd be way underpowered but they are way too strong for my tanks. Luckily I need something to circulate my fresh mixed salt water batches. They definitely seem more than worth their price. I'll be ordering some smaller ones to try. Subtracted 1 star because I "like them" but I can't say I "love them" yet.

I would highly recommend these "water movers" BUT this one produces a VERY strong current. I'd initially planned to use one on each end of my 55-gallon tank, but even one ended up being a bit too much for the tank "residents"....I run it periodically. Be careful, also, if you have fish such a bristlenose plecos (that like to hide inside of caves and plants,etc). I went to start mine one evening and, at the last moment, noticed that one of my plecos had turned the opening into a sitting spot. I would have shredded him had I turned on the fan.

Overall happy with the product, the flow is not as strong as i anticipated but that's mostly my error as i compared it against a concentrated flow from a mag pump. so far no issues at all. i will most likely be purchasing 1 single stronger pump in the future to compliment these

Ok maybe I didnt read thoroughly but if you dont have a gigantic tank DO NOT BUY THESE they are HUGE. I mean literally HUGE. They fill up most of my tank and my fish cant even swim against the current it creates. It's like white water rapids and I have a 20g long tank. Thats my bad but at the same time it doesn't give product dimensions. It's the size of a softwall maybe slightly smaller. About 4-5 inches long 2-3 inches wide.

Bit bigger than anticipated because I didn't check the dimensions (my own fault). Works great and can't beat the price. I have 2 smaller ones in the tank but I bought these for extra water current for red cyanobacteria problem. Should work wonders with 4 powerheads pushing water around the tank.
