Everyone,
I am getting ready to install a float valve in my 30g Brute garbage can and mix up my first batch of saltwater. I know I need to keep it agitated/aerated but I need some help on pump recommendations. What size pump do I need for good enough flow?
I have 2 old fountain pumps but I think they are too small for the job, something like 19w and cheap overseas stuff. I don't care how loud it is...and not looking to break the bank either.
Also.....what's the best way to soak/flush out my old pumps ( vinegar/water mix or use a bleach/water mix)? I can use them to pump my new batch of salt water back into the tank when I do water changes.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
