Prop Impeller Water Pump for Return and Media Reactor Feed Applications
The Reef Octopus Aquatrance 1500 is a prop impeller water pump designed for return and feed pump applications in reef and freshwater aquariums. It moves up to 390gph at a maximum head of 4.8ft and draws 18 watts. The pump installs submersed or externally, giving it flexibility for in-sump or external plumbing configurations.
The prop impeller design makes the AQ-1500 a practical choice for low-to-medium flow applications where a quiet, efficient pump is needed without a large footprint. At 4.5 x 2.4 x 3.6in it fits in tight sump chambers and compact equipment areas.
Key Features:
- Max flow: 390gph
- Max head: 4.8ft
- Power consumption: 18 watts
- Prop impeller design
- Submersed or external installation
- Compact form factor: 4.5 x 2.4 x 3.6in
Ideal For:
- Sump return pump duty on small to mid-size reef and freshwater aquariums
- Feed pump for media reactors, biopellet reactors, and kalkwasser reactors requiring low, steady flow
- Secondary or auxiliary circulation where a small, low-wattage pump is needed
- Tight sump chambers where a compact pump footprint is a priority
Pro Tips:
- Match the pump to your head pressure, not just the flow rate. At 4.8ft max head, the AQ-1500 is suited to shorter return runs. If your sump-to-display distance plus fittings and bends adds up to more than 4ft of head, the Aquatrance 1800 or 2000 will maintain better actual flow at the display.
- Use it as a dedicated reactor feed pump. The AQ-1500's 390gph max and compact size make it a natural fit for feeding a calcium or media reactor where you want steady, controllable flow without pulling from your main return line. Running a dedicated feed pump also simplifies tuning reactor dwell time.
- Run it externally if heat is a concern. Both submersed and external configurations are supported. If your sump runs warm, mounting the pump externally keeps that 18 watts of heat outside the water column.

Instructions:
- Determine whether the pump will be installed submersed or externally before placing it in your sump or equipment area.
- For submersed installation, place the pump in the return section of your sump. Ensure water level will remain above the pump inlet at all times to prevent dry running.
- For external installation, position the pump so the inlet draws from below the water surface. Ensure all fittings are secure and airtight before powering on.
- Connect the pump outlet to your return line or reactor feed line using appropriate fittings for your plumbing size.
- Plug the pump into a grounded outlet. For return pump use, connect to a controller or smart outlet if shutoff automation is desired.
- Power on the pump and confirm flow at the return outlet or reactor inlet before leaving unattended.
- For reactor feed use, adjust flow rate at the reactor's flow valve rather than restricting the pump inlet.
