I own a 65 gals aquarium with discus. Does the the pump can handle debris such as fish food and other solid waste from the aquarium.

I also own a 65gal with several different kinds of fish and have never had a problem with this pump.

We've had ours running continuously since we bought it two years ago. Never had any problems with pump clogging we have it in line with a Fluval canister. Honestly though a common Pleco does the best job on keeping your tank clean from algae if that's your problem.

Yes, it picks up fine dirt quite well. There are different grade filter bags that fit inside the Aquabot. I pretty much stick with the "fine" bag all the time and remove any larger debris by hand.

I would not. I would use a "trash pump" that can handle some solids. Zoeller makes them and that is what I would suggest you get. A sump pump is for water only And likely to get clogged used for sink and laundry waste.

i use this pump to pump out the winter cover for my in ground pool. the water always has small pieces of leaves, debris and baby tadpoles in it. the pump handles it without clogging. it will clog if the debris is larger than a half inch and there is a lot of it.

This gravel vacuum is great for a 10 gallon tank. my tank is much smaller and I stir up the rocks to pick up the fish poop.

No, its a great pump. I use it to clean aquariums. But, it does not have enough suction to clean from the bottom of a pool. Also, it is not self priming.

I use to have Tanks from 5 gallons to 55 gallons mostly fish but one of the larger tanks I had a red eared turtle. If I still had those tanks, yes I think this would be Ideal to clean them also.

I would think that depends on the water quality. Debris need to be kept from clogging the intake grate such as algae build up.

With my experience it will suck up the dirt.The suction seems to be powerful but it also depends on the size of your pump. I have a larger pump so it has powerful suction. If there are any larger pieces like very small rocks it might not get that (it might just push them out of the way) but as long as it is sand or dusty type dirt it should eventually get it all.

It wont do a darn thing if you don't buy the pump that runs it. The pump is kinda big, and kind of expensive, but its on the shelf at home depot. Once you have both parts, it'll run like a gem. Mine circulates 3000 gallons per hour and its a thousand gallon tank. Makes a whirlpool, sucks in all the algae, by day three the water is crystal clear.

Yes, very easly, my container is 65 gal and there is plenty to spare. I've been 100% happy!

It would depend on what you are trying to use it for - and the number of animals in your tank! We have one in our 55 gal. tank and it works fine ... but we don't have that many animals in our tank and those that we do have don't require much additional aeration (other than the pump/filtration unit we use). This is more for the bubble show in our situation - and it does a wonderful job for that purpose!! :)

We are using it to run two air stones in a 15 gal. tank and it works great. It is a great pump for that. Check what they recommend for your size tank, would be the best way to know for sure.

Yes. You can't see it in the picture, but their is a basket to filter larger debris in front of the pump.

I can get back to you about it I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure that my friend uses it with salt water aquariums. He works at the world largest aquatic pet store so I can ask him for you..

YES. This is definitely sufficient for 60 gallon fish tank. I have a 75 gallon tank and it definitely puts out enough air. It has 2 features - 1) Adjustable air flow, and 2) 4 air outputs that all put out equal air regardless of what is attached, which is superior to having one outlet with a 4 way splitter. The other answer mentions composting aeration which is not what I am doing, I have a regular aquarium.
