I am looking for a small water pump to move water to make a modified Auto top off. I have a fairly small sump and am going to use a timer and the small pump to move the water into the return section. Problem is that most pumps will move too much water. I have seen a few at Dr Fosters that have a 60-80 gph flow rate and one of those would be great. Problem is no one around here has any for sale. They all have water pumps...just fairly good ones.
Anyone out there have one collecting dust they would sale? I know its a long shot but i thouht i would try here before i pay all the shipping from Dr F/S
Let me know and thanks...
 
Have you considered an Aqua Lifter pump? Its flow rate is 3.5 gph. It should be much easier to control with a timer than a pump/powerhead. You can order it from a number of online places, but CRA's price is comparable by the time you add S/H to the online price.
 
consider building an auto top off using a couple float switches. It is very easy and quite cheap. I used this design first http://www.melevsreef.com/plumbing/auto_topoff.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UmT2rV0iYE but changed it to use a relay and a cheap 12v power supply like this one http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?t=221061 . The leds can be omitted. The float switches and relay are available for cheap on ebay. with this set up you can use any pump you wish. Aqualifters work great. I need a little more head height so I use a maxijet 1200.
