Does the water pump go inside of the aquarium (fully submersed in water)?

No, the air pump stays outside the aquarium. Only a small plastic tube and the airline go inside the tank. The rest of the refugium hangs off the back of the tank.

Yes. I found the pump with the kit to not be strong enough. You need to purchase a separate pump, and if you are using the Nano system, make sure you have enough room in the back to hold the refugium and pump for that matter. Hope this helps.

it does not have a water pump. It has an air pump that pushes water into the refugium. This unit works great. I have some mineral mud, aragonite sand cap ,tiny freshwater shrimp and java moss in mine with a 50/50 bulb on it. It makes a great bio filter.

Yes. When the float rises it triggers the water pump to stop filling because the tank is full.

Thank you for your question! The water should be about 4 inches deep to ensure that the pump is fully submerged.

Yes you can. Search youtube for Ocean Wonders Aquarium Low Water Fix. Its a couple screws to take it apart then letting the pump suck up water.

Yes it is totally sealed, waterproof where u can submerge it in water. My tank is larger than what it is rated for and works perfect.

I don't think it has to be submerged. What I think it means is that pump will work when water reaches a certain level.If it empties your tank is working OK.

no but you can tie it in to any other pump you may have running in your aquarium by installing a tee in the existing line and feeding the reactor. it comes with a valve to adjust the flow rate.

Yes, this piece is installed inside of the lined area. It is used to collect floating debris and filter water before it reaches the pump.

The pump is integrated into the top of the unit - it sits on top of the tank. In the picture, the black lower portion is all tank, the pump intake and float hang from the bottom of the top white portion of the unit. To get to the tank, just lift the top section off and you can easily clean the tank, pump intake, float and everything else which is on the underside of the top section. I usually clean it out once every 6 months.

It is supposed to be fully submerged. I bought it for an Aquafarm and it fits perfectly.

Yes it does. In the middle of the end. There is a plastic insert that fits in the hole and attaches to the pump inlet.

Yes Brittany, the complete heater is submersible. I have a 36 gallon corner aquarium and it is completely submersed. The entire unit as well as approximately 3 inches of the wire are under water. I've had it for about two months and it's working great!!! Good luck with yours!! :)

Yes...100%, even the cord as long as water doesn't reach the outlet you plug it into. When things are working properly, only about 1/2 the pump will be underwater but it will continue to operate even if there is a foot or two of water above it.

This pump is fully submersible. I have been using it in my sump pit for about 5 weeks and it is working just fine. They do make pedestal style sump pumps whose motors should be kept out of the water, but this one is completely submersible.

No. No air involved, just water. This thing attaches to an outlet. It does not affect what goes into the filter/pump.
