AquaClear Powerhead (UL Listed)

This powerhead is a great thing to have for your aquarium if the tank is between 55-90 gallons. It really packs a punch for its size, and has the capacity to move a lot of water fairly quickly. It can also be used in smaller aquariums too, because the waterflow on this powerhead is ADJUSTABLE (a feature that is rarely seen on other powerheads) it can filter 300 g.p.h. or adjusted to filter only a trickle. So this can be a used in aquariums under 55 gallons too.

This also has another unique feature a REVERSE-FLOW option so the powerhead can also take water from close to the surface and move it through the gravel in the opposite direction. Whichever method of gravel filtration you prefer, this powerhead can accommodate you.

It comes with tubes that provide for the option of additional airation through the spout. So if you have a big aquarium loaded with oxygen hungry fish, these powerheads can provide lots of water surface agitation, water airation with bubbles, or you can just omit the bubbles entirely and stick with undergravel filtration only.

You can also buy attachable power filters to this separately no need to invest in expensive poewr filters and powerheads separately just buy this item and the attachable power filters and you're set for a powerhead / power filter in the same unit to clean up and polish your aquarium water. Look for the AQUA CLEAR Large Quick Filter and the Large Quick Filter Cartidges for this purpose.

I've been involved with aquariums for over 16 years, and this is one of the finest accessories for an aquarium I've ever had. If you're considering ornamental fish as a hobby, I heartily recommend this powerhead. It is powerful, quiet, and gives your options of reverse flow and adjustable waterflow.

Be advised on one thing when the powerhead is operating in reverse flow, small fins like guppies can get stuck to the plastic grid from which water flows into the powerehead and never escape. So this item is better suited to larger fish when using the reverse flow feature. But it's adjustability enables you to slow the waterflow to a trickle for a powerhead that does not promote too much water turbulation for smaller fish.

I love this pump so far. The Aquaclear 20 is perfect for a 29 gallon tank. Previous Penguin powerhead was awful. A pet store recommended and ordered the 660 for my 29 gallon tank. It was way too much power with no way to adjust the output. My fish were getting blown around the tank. Even worse was the vibration. Even tried rocks on top of the cover to stop the rattling. Down graded to 4 stars because the bubble valve doesn't adjust to a tiny amount of bubbles without spurting them out off and on again. You either get spurts or a LOT of bubbles. To be fair the Penguin air valve was fancier but didn't work any better.

Nice powerhead. Using it on an undergravel filter in a 29 gal tank. It's very quiet and has an airtube for the venturi. If it wasn't for the bubbles that I let come out I wouldn't hear it at all, but then again, it is submerged.

Forget about airpumps and airstones to aerate your tank, this is just as cheap, but it is MUCH quieter and makes your tank so much better. I like that Aquaclear makes filters that you can attach to this to help keep the water crystal clear. Wish i would have bought this a year ago. I use this in a 55 gallon tank and it would be great for a larger or a smaller tank because of the adjustable flow rate. 5-stars!

great product. it seems to be working well with my undergravel filter. it cycles the water faster than my air pump which, in turn, makes the water in my tank crystal clear. no matter how cloudy the water gets the powerhead cleans it up right beside the undergravel filter.
