Small Pump for ATO?
 
Hey guys, Ive been searching for what seems forever for the perfect ATO pump. I think a bilge pump would work perfectly, but I cant seem to find one suitable. I need to know its aquarium safe.

Does anyone have any suggestions and a place in Calgary that has what I need? I drove around for ike 4 hrs today trying to find the right thing with no luck.

these are a good little pump for the price & will run for years

Hmmm, someone else directed me to that one too. Ok, so this is just plug it in and it runs?

I have an ATO float valve that will turn the pump on and off as the water evaporates, but I'll be using the pump as a dosing type station too. Id premix the amount my aquarium needs in a bucket, drop this pump in and as the float valve drops to turn on the pump itd pump it back to the normal height.

This would work for that?

Yea thats how it works just run the pump off of the ATO and it will be fine

I use a little ornimental pump from one of those table top water features. works great does not have to run as long as the aqua lifter did.
