My Viquarium pump has stopped pumping water. How do I get it fixed?
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.

It’s great. But, it’s a little shallow. 5 inch’s water depth. I put mine in a 55 gallon breeder tank. I cut out a plexiglass for the bottom and sides so that I could raise the depth to 6 inch’s. I use mine in a tank with firebelly newts. Since I made basically a plexiglass glass box it will be easily removed for cleaning. The space for the mister in the waterfall was a great idea too.

Tldr- My brother bought a turtle on a whim and it quickly outgrew it's tank. We upgraded him from a 20 gallon to a 55. It's a uniquely sized tank, so as other users suggested, I added bricks below the system to lift the water level, this worked perfectly. It'll need to be paired with a cannister or maintenanced frequently. Be careful adding plants into the tank with this. Overall, wonderful buy.

I purchased this December 2017 for my sons musk turtle he got for Christmas and it works poorly. Putting rocks in the tank where the filter is does not allow for the water to flow and filter properly therefore causing the water to be cloudy on a very regular basis we have to clean the tank AT LEAST once a week as a result. This product is highly overpriced wish I could get a refund.

I used this to create a land area for my frogs' 55-gallon tank. There is one frog who loves to slide down the riverlet.

So I got two and I put the other design in my aquarium first to see how my turtle would take to it. She only hid on the side of it to rub her shell she continued to bask and sit on her existing log. I changed and placed this design in and she only uses her log to rub her shell on or climb up to dismount again as a game. However she sleeps, and basks on this one so comfortably I hate I tried the other one first. She is so comfortable now it shows and it looks so much better in my 55gal tank along with the beautiful plant decor I added. I love the filtering system as well more appealing! Worth the purchase!
