Aquatop MaxFlow Circulation Pump | Aquarium Powerhead, 256 to 2,642 GPH
Aquatop MaxFlow circulation pumps are compact, prop-style powerheads that keep water moving through your tank, sweeping debris toward the filter and reducing dead spots. A locking suction cup holds the pump to the glass, and a ball joint lets you aim the flow in any direction. Four sizes cover tanks from 20 to 250 gallons, freshwater or saltwater. Browse all our pumps and powerheads.

Match the tank size in the table. For a reef, many keepers run two pumps for more random flow.
Can I run it out of the water?
No. Keep it fully submerged whenever it is plugged in.
