IceCap FP Series Aquarium Flow Pump
The IceCap FP Series are controllable DC flow pumps that keep water moving in freshwater and saltwater aquariums. A directional propeller design pushes a broad, gentle stream that clears dead spots, boosts surface gas exchange, and carries food and nutrients to corals and filter feeders. Each pump runs on a variable-speed controller so you can dial the flow to the tank instead of being stuck at one fixed speed. Pair one with your saltwater or freshwater setup.
Why This Pump
- Variable-speed DC motor with an included controller, tune the flow from a soft ripple to full output
- Directional propeller pushes a wide, even stream rather than a narrow jet
- Works in both freshwater and saltwater tanks
- Energy efficient, from just 10 watts on the FP-60
- Magnet mount holds on glass or acrylic and aims where you need flow
- Quiet running for display tanks
Choose Your Model
| Model | Max Flow | Power | Best For |
| FP-60 | 790 GPH | 10 W | Nano and small tanks up to about 50 gallons |
| FP-100 | 1,585 GPH | 20 W | Medium tanks, roughly 50 to 120 gallons |
| FP-200 | 4,755 GPH | 35 W | Large tanks and long displays, 120 gallons and up |
Flow needs vary by tank shape and livestock. Reef tanks usually want higher turnover than fish-only or planted tanks.
How It Works
- Mount the pump with the magnet holder and point the nozzle to aim the flow
- Connect the controller and set the speed, many models offer steady or pulsing modes
- Run more than one pump on opposite walls for a natural, random flow pattern in larger tanks
- Rinse the propeller and housing during routine maintenance to keep output strong

FAQ
Does it come with a controller? Yes. Each FP pump includes its variable-speed controller so you can adjust the flow.
Can I use it in a freshwater tank? Yes. The FP series works in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
How many should I run? One pump is plenty for small tanks. Larger or reef tanks often use two or more on opposite walls for random flow.
Which model do I need? Match the max flow to your tank size using the comparison table above, and size up if you keep flow-loving corals.
