Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / August 2006Filter - Water Pump
Hi, Total newbie (BTW whats the story with the mad eejit warning us our lives are over :) ) Anyway quick question. I have just purchased an aquarium small one to get me started. It's a Jumwel rekord 60. The pump is not noisy but it pumps the water above the water line which is kinda noisy. Is this normal. Can I get a tube and direct the water underwater if I'm making sense. TIA.. BC sounds like you have a power head rather than a waterfall type filter. I dont know anything about jumwels.

It trickles above the water and what I was wondering was about putting a tube on it to direct it into the water to lose the noise BC the problem is that noise means turbulence and that means oxygen going into the water. it is better for the fish. if you do put a tube on it be sure to have an air stone blowing air into the tank. fish, plants and biobugs all NEED oxygen. will die without it.

Many Thanks! Brgds.
