Flow upgrade for fluval Evo 13.5

[Oshyn]

I’ve been looking to upgrade the flow for my fluval evo 13.5 so I got a power head that was at 256 gph but that was way to strong and I can’t seem to find anyone that weaker and I’m not sure what to do. My spending range is around 40-50 bucks but will not complain if theirs a cheap option lol. Thank you all very much and have an amazing day

Just replace stock return pump with a Sicce - unobtrusive, adjustable, fits in chamber, very quiet

Eheim compaction 1000. Some say it’s noisy. Mine is near silent. Tons of flow for around $45

Try replacing the nozzle outlets with random flow generator nozzle's did the trick in my fluval

Second the eheim I have it in mine think it's rated right around the same gph if I remember right and with rfg's isn't to much flow at all. I have another wavemaker in with it.

Hi... how many GPH is your pump

Hi... how many GPH is your pump

Pump is Sicce 0.5 185gph

The Sicce pumps have adjustable flow. I bought a 1.0 for my Evo 13.5, but decided that at the lowest setting it was stronger than what I wanted, so I put on a 0.5 instead. Maybe the 1.0 would be good for you. I am thinking of rearranging my rockwork and then I would use the 1.0.

I am running a 210gph now so close to your flow rate. Thanks for your reply

Are you using the suction cups on your eheim 1000?. Only seems to fit in the chamber but won’t stick to the bottom
