ILEBYGO 50 GPH 3W Mini Submersible Water Pump for Aquariums, Fish Tank,Wave Maker Pump, Pond, Fountain, Hydroponics

I was looking for a small pump for a desktop fountain. This fits the bill exactly. Very quiet and efficient.

It worked right out of the box.

The 50 GPH 3W Mini Submersible Water Pump is a compact and efficient option for small aquariums. With a flow rate of 50 gallons per hour, it provides adequate circulation for maintaining water quality. Its low power consumption of just 3 watts makes it energy-efficient. The pump operates quietly and is easy to install and maintain, though its small size may limit its effectiveness for larger tanks. Overall, it’s a reliable choice for small to medium-sized aquariums, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for aquatic life. I will say it can use better suction cups.

Easy to install, runs quietly.

This pump only lasted about 10 months in my cat's water fountain, whereas others I have purchased have lasted well over a year. While it worked it was basically OK. I guess you get what you pay for.

I use this as a powerhead in my 10 gallon planted aquarium to move water around and distribute my diffused CO2 more evenly throughout the tank. I basically just suction cupped it to the back side of the tank so that it pushes water to the front of the tank over and past my CO2 diffuser. It gets a nice little under water current going.Probably not the best for a Betta fish tank or any other fish that have really big fins as they struggle with water flow, but besides that it is a great option for smaller aquariums.

The media could not be loaded. Its a nice little filter. I tested it out first without any tube (I'm in the process of getting the tube all set up, the silicone needs to dry) its not very strong, but with how I'm going to be using it I just need a continuous light flow not something like a pressure washer lol. I plan on using it as part of a makeshift lapidary set up, it'll be used to keep from having dust in the air and the stone cool while I'm working. Its pretty quiet, but not like that will matter for my use, my dremel would drown out the sound anyways.

The pump works great and fits just as well as the original one that came with my pet fountain. I believe I works much better also. I would recommend getting one if you need one.

Works as expected. Been on solid for a couple months in a waterfall aquatic plant tank.
