95GPH 5W Mini Water Pump with 3.3 ft Tubing

This mini water pump is compact but works surprisingly well for its size. The 95 GPH flow is useful for small aquarium and water-feature setups, and the included 3.3 ft tubing makes it convenient to get started right away.The pump is easy to place since it’s submersible, and I like that it doesn’t take up much space. It also seems reasonably quiet during operation. Overall, it’s a useful little pump for aquariums, fountains, or other small water projects.

Wrote a review for my fountain and thought this info would be good for someone looking for the power of this pump or how to build a terrarium with this pump. Just copied and pasted, that's why the wording is more towards the fountain. Hope this helps! Also I have this pump set on the medium setting, which is perfect. I noticed no noise from the pump itself. My tank size is 12x12x24 and this pump works perfect with perfect flow of water that I was looking for.Built a bioactive terrarium/vivarium for my crested rainforest gecko. Wanted a fountain to cycle the water through the substrate and also act as a water dish for my little guy. This was perfect. I installed a 95 GPH pump in the substrate so it would have enough power to give it a 2.5 foot lift (I doubt the pump it came with would have the power for what I needed). I was able to connect the tubing of my pump to the original tubing of the fountain so aesthetically it would appear to function how it was designed with the water coming out and flowing how it is shown. Setting it up with the higher powered pump allows the water in the substrate to get filtered all the way through the system to clean and maintain the water, while allowing it to flow out of the front of the fountain so I don't have to ever clean my gecko's "water dish". It also maintains the humidity of my tank and waters my plants. I took netting and wrapped a ball of small rocks. I placed the ball directly under the front of the fountain going out a few inches. Then I put a small layer of soil over them and covered it with a plant that likes to be continually wet. The rocks allow the water to flow through without soaking the surrounding soil so that my other plants don't get overwatered.I hope all of this makes sense because this is the kind of info I was looking for when I was trying to figure out how to build my vivarium.I really like that this fountain looks very natural while also having the small "pond" at the bottom. I found it to be the perfect size for my tank which is 12x12x24. It's pretty quiet, a small tinkling like you are somewhat close to a small stream. With my tank door closed I can hardly hear it. If you are looking for a fountain for your tank, this is perfect in appearance and function! This pump functioned exactly as I was hoping it would! I can't imagine how many pounds it is buried under and it pumps like it's was made for that kind of pressure. Last pics shows all the weight the pump is under and how it still works great under all that.

Works like it should.

Didn’t last a year before it stopped working.

My old pump didn't have a GPH on it. It had an MD80. Not knowing if that was the same as GPH, I took a chance and ordered this Pulaco 95 GPH submersible pump. I'm pleased with it. It is working as I hoped it would and it has a little bit stronger water flow than the previous one. There isn't a long distance for the water to be pumped up (the distance of the tube and a height of about 7-8 inches). I have only had it 2 weeks and I've already had to clean out the strainer on the end. This is my fault for allowing grass clippings to get blown into the water when mowing and blowing grass off the patio. I'll need to figure out a way to prevent that from happening in the future. FYI, the info says to remove screws to take the unit apart to clean it. This is not the case with this unit. I had to use a very small flat screwdriver to separate the strainer from the end of the unit. Once I had it off it was easy to clean it out and then snap it back on. I found a YouTube video explaining how to do this. There is no noise from the pump itself, only the trickle of water.

NO tubing included. It was supposed to come with 3.3ft tubing - nothing, just the pump in a small box exactly the size of the pump so not sure where they would even put the tubing. There are only 2 suction cups, not 3 - there's just a hole where the third one should be. So it would not stick to the side with only 2 - I thought well I can just set it on the bottom of the fountain on its side then, but not can't do that because the sides are rounded not flat. I still decided to hook it up using my old tubing - on the highest adjustable setting it barely got the water up my 16" fountain rise. Very weak. The description says it can "elevate a column up to 3 feet." Couldn't do 16" in mine. The pump had a surprisingly loud hum. Don't know if I got someone else's return with a missing suction cup and missing tubing? In any event, despite the missing parts, it couldn't get the water up 16". Very disappointed that I have to return it. This is a poor product - too many fails.

it does what it’s supposed to (for the most part). I wouldn’t rely on this for a waterfall pump unless you’re not raising the tube and or you don’t want very strong of a stream (at all). It will slow down as it lives in your tank, mine worked very low flow at first but after like a week of being in the tank it doesn’t have the power to push the water up. For almost any instance i’d recommend a stronger one, I love how small and compact this one is but it just doesn’t have the power you’ll need for most instances. Not a horrible product but definitely not ideal for my situation. It is super quiet though, and wasn’t hard to install or set up.

Perfect, correct size. Good pump.
