Upgrading Seaclear SYS II 50 Gallon pump

This is a quick video how I upgraded my Sealer SYS II 50 Gallon aquarium. The pump that come s with this aquarium works fine. It is noisy though and has a tendency to break at the two clips where the cover is locked in place. But these are not the reasons for replacing the pump. It has an open inlet that my snails get into and eventually clogs the pump.

Thanks for the video! I have the same tank and replaced that same stock pump a few years ago, but used a fountain pump that generates too much heat. I ordered the same pump you suggested and so much better now!

Thank you for watching. You can purchase the original or Sicce pump from fish tanks direct.com. What I did was slow move the white tube back and forth (front of tank to the back of the tank) while pulling towards the filter end. But you have to remove or move the locking clip first. You should be able to slide the lock clip down towards the pump.

how high does the water level come up in the back? you use bio balls?
