heres a ideal i tried with a few old fluval canister filters
i had a fluval 404 and a 305 and lets just say there gph rating is way overstated
together there rated at about 450 gph ,yes maybe at 0 head and empty
they maybe pump 300 the both of them together. probable less
so i unplug them , take out the impeller and plumb them in parallel to a quiet one pump thats rated at 540 gph at 5 ft head
the pump feeds inline heater , inline co2, inline uv . inline ph probe and soon inline drop checker.
this all feeds two outlets and im getting double the flow i got
from the fluvals by themselves
the pump cost $65 new
this could be used on any canister filter , filters , especially ones that the motor gave out
or just have bad flow
