Glad it can help! I know with planted tanks it is basically impossible to vac so doing big water changes quick and easy with a pump is the best way. I do 80-90% water changes weekly 😊💚
I wouldn’t recommend it for that use. Try looking at proper pond brands such as Oase, Pontec, Blagdon, Laguna they’ll have better suited products similar but more suited to outdoor life
I know it's got adjustable flow rate but you have to remove that bit of the pump when using it outside an aquarium so my question is, can you adjust the flow rate when using it outside of the water?
I’m not sure I fully understand you question. The flow can be adjusted out of the water just make sure the pump is turned off as running dry can damage your pump.
The one I have does vibrate a bit when the suckers aren’t planted properly but other than that I find mine pretty quite, just a light hum. One of the better water pumps I’ve found for noise than other manufacturers. Although I have heard the Oase equivalent is decent too 😊
Thank you so much for the hack! It’s a life changer for me and my sand bottom ❤❤

Thanks for the video. Eyeing this pump up for the same application.
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. The compacton is great value for money and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed 😊👍💚
Can I use this with a small outdoor pond where the water isn't as clean?

It’s loud?
