New to the forum

Hey everybody I’m new to the forum. My knowledge on the subject consists of a past macro algae 5.5 with inverts and plenty of freshwater. I just got an evo v to do a softie tank and I was wondering if anyone knows a power head or a pump to replace the stock rather than the mini 606 or the aqueon quiet flow 600. It seems like the quiet flow is harder to find now.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think it would fit in the back chamber of an evo v?

How big is the chamber? I am not familiar with the Evo V. The lifegard is a little over 3"X2.5" and it fits in there.

It is about 1.5 w by 2.5 L so it may be too big. No worries I’ll figure something out I am not setting the tank up until august anyway!

This is the actual dimensions of the pump it is small 2.75" x 1.5" x 3.25" If that is to big look at the SIcce 0.5 it might work as well.

Thank you I will measure the tank and order it if it works!
