aqua bee pump

[GQ22]

is this a good pump. im looking at the one used on the deltec apf600 and was trying to find on sold in the states. anyone ever use one and know how to get one? it only uses 20 something watts as im looking to trade out my mag 7 which uses considerably more watts

If you are looking to use the aquabee as a feedpump its not the right piece of equipment. The needlewheel gives you reduced flow. You would be better off getting a smaller eheim pump. Youre right about the mag sucking

If you are looking for a skimmer pump for the APF600 then the aquabee is the right pump. They can be found at www.petorama.net

i was looking at the aqua bee as a feed pump, but not for a deltec. i was actually looking to hook it up to my aqua c urchin pro. while the needle wheel may reduce flow, doesn't it create extra bubbles though? any thoughts?

i was also looking at the

My three aqua bee 2000\1 use 12 watts each. They run much lower than spec!! It will not produce much pressure with the needle wheel, I am pretty sure it is not enough to feed a urchin pro.

what do you use the aqua bees for if u dont mind me asking.

Cali uses all aquabees for skimmers as do most people.
