A fish tank pump, or an aquarium pump is a prerequisite in your fish tank. Fish need oxygen to stay alive. Few sorts of fish are able to take in oxygen by coming to the outside of the water, and these are usually the huge type that are not generally to be found in a fish tank.

To oxygenate water for your fish, a fish tank pump is used. It'll bring in oxygen, and at the same time it will filter the water in the tank so that it’s clean of CO2 waste.

The mechanism of a aquarium pump is basic. It draws in oxygen by moving the water surface so that it’s interacting with air. In that interaction, some of the air gets into the water and the oxygen within this air is exploited. If there was no movement of water in the tank, it wouldn't draw in any air and therefore there would be no oxygen.

The fish will be inhaling oxygen and releasing CO2 which needs to leave the water. Similar motion, due to the fish tank pump will allow the CO2 molecules to get together, form bubbles and escape the tank. Without the motion, the fish would suffocate because the carbon-dioxide wouldn't form bubbles and move upwards. This is why a fish tank pump is claimed to help in purifying too.

We always see all these ornate and very old fountains around France and Italy. I want to know how they made them work without electricity. Where did all that water pressure come from?

hi,
my pond just started to freeze over. i ordered and airation kit and deicer. do i turn off my pump and filters? thats what i thought i do but then i realized won’t the water just turn to sh$@ until spring?
thanx a lot!

Do you know the pretty fountains that you put in ponds to make the water shoot in the air? If I got one of them and put it and the bottom of the horses water so it would just make the water move so the water wouldn’t freeze do you think it would do anything to the horse? (If the pump is at the bottom of horse water the water wouldn’t shoot up out of the water.)

Dad and I are making a fountain-pond. The water at center is about 2 feet to 3 feet deep. We are looking to find a pump that will blast the water about 25-30 feet (or more if possible) in the air with only about 4 to 5 feet of pvc tubing attached. We have the tubing available in anything from 1″ to 2 1/2″ so adapting to the pump hole is not an issue. All of the pumps we have found that looked like they would work say “max head 35-40 feet.” We get excited, and think it means they shoot 35 to 40 feet in the air. That is not the case. I guess it means if you had a piece of pvc pipe that was 35 to 40 feet long the water would reach up there and come out. But that is most definitely not what were looking for. That would just look ridiculous. We want a minimal amount of pipe coming out of the water and a huge blast. Anyone who knows where such a pump exists would be awesome. I appreciate it.

Four fountain heads combined in one attractive package. Includes one each of Single Daisy, Double Daisy, Water Bell, Water Lily; also includes a telescoping extension tube and enough fittings to fit most brands of small pumps. Browse through our TJB-INC Amazon Store for more Aquascape items.
