Marineland Pump / Filtration Assembly - Eclipse System 3, Hex 5, Hex 7, Corner 5, & Explorer Aquariums Aquarium Power Filter Parts at Pet Mountain

On May 25, 2013:
I thought that I needed to buy replacement parts because my Corner 5 unit had stopped pulling up water. I could hear the motor running when I plugged it in, but nothing was getting up to the filter and biowheel. From these reviews I tried taking off the intake tube, then removing the part housing the impeller. After cleaning the impeller and it's surrounding parts, my system works great! The impeller is run by magnets, and if they get too gunked up it won't spin properly!

This pump is a great price and fit my Marineland 2 gallon tank perfectly. It also worked perfectly. BUT, be aware that it is incomplete and contains only the largest electrical part of the pump. If it can be detached from the pump, it isn't included. This wasn't a problem as I did not throw away my old pump. From my old pump I had to detach two small blue pieces that hold the bio-wheel, the stick thing with little grill which sucks in the water, and a fly wheel looking thing that was actually inside and not visible until I started taking things apart. Again, this was not a problem since I had my old pump, but if you are starting with nothing, you will not get everything you need.

I recently needed a new replacement motor for my aquarium from Marineland. I checked the Marineland site and couldn't find the part. Then I went to Pet Mountain and found the part at a great price. It was shipped even quicker than promised and fit my aquarium perfectly.

I was nervous about ordering the part online to replace the motor for my fish tank but it was perfect. Works perfectly and received it in a reasonable time. I will use this site again.

I received my new pump and discovered that the Bio-Wheel falls into the reservoir because the the axle does not reach to both sides of where it inserts into the assembly. Augh!! Had to put a kids juice box straw to help reach the sides but needless to say this was a temporary fix and the Bio-Wheel gets stuck and now my water clarity is already jeopardized after only a week. Any explanation to why could be...is this an after market mold not from marineland? Help!!

Exactly as expected. Thought we would have to buy whole new unit but replacement pump fits and works perfectly. Thanks for ease of ordering and quality product. Highly recommend!!

I love this filter system! It's easy to use, work with, and clean. And it doesn't take up much tank space, so it gives your fish more room. My original pump lasted me about 5 years, before it finally gave out for good. Remember to clean your pump of any gunk to keep it working and extend it's life. REMEMBER; to order the other parts or save them from your existing filter (ie. Impeller, etc).

Tracy just saved me close to $20 because I was ready to order a new replacement pump but I read her review and cleaned out the gunk as recommended and now it works just fine! Great advice!

It turns out my original motor works great. In trying to install the new one, I learned that the reason the old one was not working was that I needed to take a cover off on the intake and clean the magnetic components. Now I have two working motors. Make sure you are taking the motor apart periodically to get the gunk out. Maybe you don't need a new one.

My original pump lasted three years, but the replacement one I ordered has already quit working after just two months. I'll try one more time but if the next one I order doesn't last I'm scrapping the system.

I bought the new pump for my corner 5 and it worked great. I saved the impeller, impeller mount, inlet tubing, and strainer from my old one. Shipped fast!!!

Pump was the exact replacement for the broken one that I had.

Bought a new pump motor for my 3-gallon Eclipse tank because the old one had trouble starting again once it was plugged in again after being unplugged. I connected the other saved pieces from the top assembly to the new motor and it's now smoother and quieter than ever (and starts up again, too!). Thanks.

the pump was just as you described - u described in detail what was not included - and that was very helpful in that I knew what to expect and what to save - it arrived within 3 days - thanks

I have a eclipse hex 5 aquarium. My pump burned out so I ordered the pump assembly. Unfortunately what I received was not the complete assembly, so what I got was useless. Would have been cheaper just to get a whole new kit. Will not order from this company again as customer service was not responsive. Also they do not sell the parts needed to make it work.

We bought this aquarium seven years ago and it has been great. The motor gave out and the response for a new one has been quick.
