Aquatop Aquarium Submersible Pump

As Austin mentioned, the adapters included do not match the pictures for the product. To complicate matters, there are no instructions on how to set it up (just maintain it and warning information).

It turns out the tubing included is not actually for the output of the pump, but is intended to be used to mix air into the water flow.

I got the following response from the manufacturer:

"Unfortunately, the additional accessories shown in the 4th and 5th pictures are not included with this unit and were uploaded in error. We apologize for the mis-information. However, the airline tubing can be attached to the NP-80 as an optional "Venturi Line" feature. To use this optional feature, first remove the output attachment on the NP-80 and replace it with the T-Adapter attachment. Then attach the airline tubing to the T-Adapter extension which should be pointed up. The other end of the airline (with the air flow adjustment valve) should be placed outside of you tank so that in can draw in air to mix with the water output. The T-Adapter output should remain open so that the water/air mixture can flow into your aquarium water. Hope that helps!"

I got this for a homemade sous-vide cooker and am happy with its performance except one thing: when the water level drops below the level of the intake, it apparently burns out. And I managed to drop the water level by taking a piece of meat out of the cooker. So if this is your application, make sure to turn the pump off before doing anything that will drop the water level.

-1 for not including all the adapters in the pictures.

Okay pump strength, the adjustable flow knob can stick easily. Small water pump that does the job. Small, very quiet, pushes water well, but it has a hard time pushing against gravity (upwards).
