Or keep a tank going while you're finding replacement parts.

I discovered today that motors and impellers from Aquaclear HOBs can be swapped from the AC 20 to the AC 70.

So if you decide to turbocharge your AC 20, put in an impeller from an AC 70. If you need to keep water flowing thru a filter, an AC 20 motor or impeller will keep an AC 70 moving water.

Not sure if this would work on an AC 100 filter, don't have one to try out.

Nope, AC 110 impellers are too big. I used to use an AC70 filter with an AC30 impeller to reduce the flow.

I thought maybe the 110 was different, the motor has a higher wattage rating on the website.
