I need a new ATO pump for water top offs (55g reef). I'm looking for something around 50ml/min. I have used the BRS 50ml/min peristaltic pump but now I am on my 4th one and they are made like crap. The gears strip.
My main issue is that I need to pump up from the basement to my tank, and I have to push up about 15'.
I read there is the Stenner and Cole palmer, but I dont want to pay $300-1000 for an ato pump. Is there something else in the $50-200 range that is quality and will pull up about 11' and push up another 4' to my tank? I have the pump at my tank on the first floor because that is where I control the outlet (reefkeeper).
Thoughts?
