High water quality with constant water movement ensure that your aquarium remains healthy and beautiful. Inline and submersible aquarium pumps provide you with multiple options to maintain proper water movement for your fresh and marine water aquarium or paludarium.  Additionally, aquarium pumps can be used in a discreet aquarium sump filtration system to quietly and effortlessly return the filtered water back into the aquarium. 

​

OASE OptiMax pumps are lightweight, compact, and operate quietly, making it simple to conceal them in any aquarium or sump filter.  Their low energy consumption continuously saves electricity. All OptiMax aquarium pumps have an adjustable flow control.

​

TIP! The basis for selecting an aquarium pump is based on the desired flow rate and head height. In general, it is better to choose a more powerful pump than a less powerful one for your setup and use the flow control to adjust the water flow rate. 

​

TIP! Determine the ideal pump for your aquarium sump by matching the distance of the sump to your aquarium return outlet and match to the pump’s max. head height.
