Is there a less powerful submersible pump that could be used instead of the one that comes with the tank?

I don't think so but you can adjust the filter to a very weak current that my fish seem not to notice

No it takes a totally different pump. The pump you need is no longer available. Try to find someone who re-builds the pump. Stan

This tank comes with a below gravel pump, but the outlet tube takes up a lot of the center of the tank. I thought it was kind of ugly, so I ditched it for a side-mounted filter. I'd recommend an internally-powered one, smallest you can find. They make ones which will fit the cutouts included in the tank lid.

No I am sorry but not big enough to take any long term power needs for a pump like that.

Yes, you can do that. You can also bypass the float switch and run the pump manually by unplugging the pump power cord from the piggyback plug on the float switch and running it directly to the power outlet.

You will have a difficult time finding a different air pump small enough to seat in the compartment. I replaced the pumps with better, more powerful ones and run a longer piece of airline to situate it away from the tank. There are many choices, I use Fusion brand, among others. I would avoid "Aquatech" brand (found in Walmarts) and Tetra's Whisper pump gets mixed reviews on the noise level.

Yes but you cannot fully submerge the pump. This is not a "submersible pump".

I measured from the bottom of the pump to the end of the power cord. The pump is submergeable, as is the cord. The measurement was slightly longer than 10 foot. I see no problem.

I would say no. It is not sealed for submerging. More intended for surface pumping. It works great!

My best recommendation is to use a stabilizer in the tank so you don't have to replace it. If you need to drain it you can use a small hand pump (not electric)

This pump is not enough for return off 100g tank, I use for 46G tank and it is noisy and flow not constant to keep water level I prefer to use mag 7 for 100 gal tank.

Unfortunately no. The max psi rating is roughly 2.5 psi. You will need a far more powerful pump for your SUP.

Sorry for the late reply, you can buy the pump by itself. If xfactor does not sell it you can get one at any retailer who sells pet supplies or pond supplies. It is just a submersible water pump approx 170 gph.

a double tank adapter with a hose to the other tank, but not recommended could be dangerous check with a local tech in your area.

You can by a similar pump different brand, that has a automatic shutoff. Same exact type of pump for a few dollars more. They also sell it on amazon. It is the Tetra pump, purple in color.

I don't think so, but I haven't pulled it apart. The pump has run flawlessly since I bought it. The only reason I would replace it is to increase my tank size from 150 gal to 300 gal.

Yes you can. If your current pump has a switch on it that can be replaced. You will need to attach the float to the barrel being filled, position it near the top of the barrel. The cable from the new float will need to run back to your water pump and connected to the old float switch cable. You will probably have to make 2 splices to the cable and put heat shrink tubing over the cable splices to ensure they are water tight.
