Questions about Pumps

What is the purpose of a freshwater aquarium pump?
A freshwater pump helps circulate water throughout your aquarium, ensuring proper oxygenation, filtration efficiency, and even nutrient distribution—especially in planted tanks. It also helps prevent dead spots and supports the overall health of fish and beneficial bacteria.
Do I need a pump if I already have a filter?
Many filters include a built-in pump, but in larger tanks or those with complex layouts, an additional circulation or powerhead pump can improve water flow and reduce stagnant areas. Pumps are also helpful in systems where filtration is external, such as sump setups.
What types of freshwater pumps are available?
There are several types to choose from. Circulation pumps are used to enhance water flow and prevent dead spots. Powerheads are versatile pumps that can be used with undergravel filters or as standalone flow generators. Utility pumps are often used for water changes, draining, or transferring water between tanks or sumps. Wave makers are ideal for simulating natural flow in aquascapes or river-style biotopes.
How do I choose the right size pump for my aquarium?
Select a pump that can circulate the tank’s total water volume at least three to five times per hour. For example, a 100-litre tank should have a pump with a minimum flow rate of 300 to 500 litres per hour (LPH). For tanks with high bio-loads or specific flow requirements, consider higher flow rates.

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!

Good to know

Why are some points pending?

Purchase points have an approval period before they become available. Your balance shows available points separately from pending points.

How long do my points last?

When points expiry applies, your balance stays valid for 365 days from qualifying rewards activity. Earning eligible rewards, redeeming points or a balance adjustment renews that window. Simply visiting the shop does not renew it.

Can I use points with my stamp reward?

Yes. Add your 10% stamp reward code at checkout and switch on your points. Your final saving depends on the eligible product total and any other discount restrictions.

What happens if I return something?

Earned points are adjusted for returns. Points used on refunded products are restored proportionally. If a refund takes a qualifying order below £250, its stamp is removed.
