What is the difference between an aquarium pump and a powerhead?

The difference between an aquarium pump and a powerhead is that an aquarium pump is a water circulator that moves water through a series of tubes, while a powerhead uses a propeller to create a more powerful flow of water. They perform largely the same function, which is circulating water in your tank, but the powerhead is able to create more water turbulence and may be more effective for larger tanks.

How long do aquarium pumps last?

Some aquarium pumps will only last for a year or two before they fail, while others may last for 4 to 5 years or even more. Proper cleaning and care will help extend the life of your pump, and you may be able to get replacement parts for your pump if they wear out. Look for quality brands with good warranties and good reviews if you want to make sure to buy an aquarium pump that lasts.

How do I install an aquarium pump?

Install an aquarium pump according to the product's assembly and installation instructions. Most water pumps can be easily installed using a suction cup that sticks to the inside of your glass tank. Your pump's manual or quick start guide should have recommendations on where to place your aquarium pump for best performance, but you may need to experiment in order to achieve the best water flow for your tank.

How do I choose the right aquarium pump for my fish tank?

Choose the right aquarium pump for your fish tank by first figuring out how much water pumping capacity you will need. A general rule of thumb is to multiply your tank's capacity by 5 or 6 to get the minimum flow rate in gallons per hour (GPH). Pick a pump that is made for either freshwater or saltwater (or both) depending on the type of tank you have. Be sure to also choose an aquarium pump that is appropriate for your type of fish. You can use the product filters on our Water Pumps and Powerheads page to narrow your search and find the perfect pump for your needs!
