It will be necessary to open the pump and clean the impeller to prevent it from stopping over time. To do this, open the housing by twisting the impeller cover. Remove the housing lid and take out the magnetic impeller assembly. Now soak the black magnet and the white spinning blades in vinegar for two hours. Take a Q-tip and go around the inside of the pump. When the parts have soaked for two hours, rinse the parts with warm water and put the pump back together. This will keep your Viquarium pump running smoothly again.
This thing doesn’t clean the water at all. If you want it for the water fall then it’s great but it’s supposed to filter the water as well. It doesn’t.
Inside the structure has cracks and pieces of material breaking off into my turtle tank. Bought it brand new like this.
It looks very nice, makes your tank looks great but it doesn't work. It's horrible!!! It doesn't filter the water the water filters are clean after 2 weeks. It doesn't do anything!! Do yourself a favor don't buy it you're just going to just waste your money and your time putting it together.
A little big for a 20gal but it serves its purpose
I absolutely love this & so do my turtles...I would recommend this for anyone with a 20 gallon tank or larger (mine is 40 gallon breeder)...The nice flowing stream for Ur critters, along with the cascading waterfall, adds a natural setting to their habitat that makes it feel as close to nature as U can get! Along with this awesome design it is also a water filter...I recommend using river pebbles instead of small gravel, as U can adjust the height & width of Ur landscape & the amount of water by the amount of river pebbles and the design U choose to create...the river pebbles allow water filtration throughout the pebbles along the bottom portion of the tank (I have mine set at 5 inches of water) U then can add Ur substrate on top (I used moss matting, topped with coconut fiber & pieces of pillow moss throughout) U can also adjust the height & width of Ur landscaping with how much substrate U choose to use...I am very happy with this product
I purchased this for a 40 gallon bowfront tank and it is pretty cool. It keeps the water constantly flowing down its little waterfall and my turtle seem to really enjoy it typically they will slide down the waterfall and into the water absolutely wonderful addition if you’re doing an aquatic turtle habitat.
I bought this for my red rated slider turtle in sept 2020. Since 11/2020 is has not made a stream from the pump with any power. It has gone stagnant and caused mosquitoes. Maybe mine is defective, it worked beautifully for about 60-90 days
I love the look but with it was taller to allow a higher water line. Also the filtration doesn't work very well if at all. Unfortunately its not worth the price in my opinion :/
i saw so many videos on it and it looks much better in person. however i don't think it's strong engouh for a 55 gallon tank it barely flows in my 29 gallon tank but either way its a great products so much room for customization not the product it's self but everything from the gravle to plants and so on. i recommend it to anyone. thank u chewy for the fast shipping it was suppose to arrive in 3 days but it made it in one day and a few hours.
i just added this to my turtle tank and i looks great and works as well as it looks besides that it was the best deal i could find on this product!!!
