Auto top off pump needed

[ninjamini]

What pump should I get for a auto top off system. I want something with a small hose to deliver water to the sump.

Perfect. Anyone have one they don't need or know a local place to get one?

You can use just about any small pump. I use a Rio I had laying around hooked up to an ATO. A 6 gallon bucket fits in my stand and lasts 4-5 days for my 90.

I picked up the aqualifter. I like the idea that its not a submerged pump that can burn out if the system runs dry.

I went to big als and paid $17. $7 over there web price. Thats terrible. I only bought it because I need it quick. Otherwise I would have ordered it.

I did and they did not. They said that they are no longer the same company. I should have argued but I needed to get going.

I have to say I have this hooked to a float switch and it works great. Its quiet. It uses airline hose. It does it slow so that there is no shock to the system. I really like it.
