What is an aquarium water pump?

An aquarium water pump is a device that circulates water within an aquarium. It is essential for creating water movement, oxygenating the water, and supporting filter systems.

Why should i use a water pump?

  • Water circulation: Prevents stagnant water areas and improves oxygen levels.
  • Filter support: Drives water through filters for efficient waste removal.
  • Powerhead function: Can be used to create water currents and simulate natural environments.
  • Equipment operation: Provides water flow for other aquarium equipment like protein skimmers or canister filters.

How do i choose the right water pump?

  • Tank size: Select a pump with appropriate flow rate for your aquarium.
  • Pump head pressure: Ensure the pump can lift water to the desired height.
  • Energy efficiency: Consider the pump's power consumption.
  • Noise level: Choose a pump with a quiet operation.

Flow Rate:

The pump should be able to circulate the entire volume of water in the tank 3–5 times per hour. For example, a 75-gallon reef tank would need a flow rate of 225–375 gallons per hour (GPH). For fish-only tanks, some recommend a flow rate of 10–12 times the tank's water volume, while mixed reef tanks and SPS tanks may need 15–20 times and 20–25 times, respectively.

Head pressure:

The pump will need to operate against a certain amount of pressure, which can be calculated by adding 1 foot of head pressure for each vertical foot, elbow, and every 10 feet of horizontal pipe. For example, if water needs to be pumped 4 feet vertically, through 2 elbows, and 10 feet horizontally, the pump will be under about 7 feet of head pressure.

What kind of maintenance should i expect?

  • Regular cleaning: Remove debris from the pump intake and impeller.
  • Impeller inspection: Check for wear and tear on the impeller.
  • Shaft inspection: Inspect the pump shaft for damage or corrosion.
