Pump Active Aqua Submersible Water Pump, 1000 GPH - Saltwater fish tank

[Fernando Parra]

Hello everyone,

I need your help!

I just bought this pump Active Aqua Submersible Water Pump, 1000 GPH at Amazon.com but I realized in the manual that this pump does not operate in saltwater, my intention would be use this pump inside my sump in a saltwater fish tank. What could happen if I use this pump in saltwater?

Thanks a lot!

Saltwater won't hurt it. Don't believe the hype if someone tells you different.

Agreed. Biggest diff with sw vs fw is sw is more dense. So a power head rated for 100gph in fw may only do 40-50 in sw.
