Moz Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Just wanted to give people a heads up on those submersible water pumps they sell on eBay. They're 220v and by the time you realize it, it's to late! 220v won't work here in the US and you would think they know better. Very tricky and dishonest!

Tony s Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 not all are 220. both of mine come with standard plugs. 110v. just one of them amazon things. be really careful of fine print okay, in this case it's an ebay thing😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Mine came with standard plug but it's 220. Know it's useless for me! It was my fault for not fully reading the description. It turns on but fails bad under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't shop there usually so don't know. the first one I bought from amazon was only 1/2 horse and around 20$ the problem with it, it's head lift was for 14 feet. the angel tank top is at 15'. on the second-floor balcony. if you're just going to be flat on 1 floor, 1/2 horse would be great. the second was 3/4 horse and works perfect for around 50$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 I tried but it would have been a hassle on my end. It was a simple little submersible water pump, It was only $10, but still. I know better now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364550129933?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hpzy_0ktt0w&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ikchm0M3Sja&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisnobody Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 @Tony s that’s what I use on my goldfish pond. It works and is cheap enough to replace every couple of years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere from 10g to 75g. 240g in total I usually use Ro water and remineralize it a 30g brute trash bin. Usually takes me all week to do water changes. Having to fill the trash can takes all night sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
