![]() 2 of these might help.
http://www.google.com/products/catal...CAcQ8wIwADgA#p might help flood your place too. Id even consider drilling a small hold in the back of the plastic ring of the tank. putting a perfect size hose in there, then using the uplift to bring in water.

![]() I ran a 5 gallon nano for a while, I thought the flow from an aquaclear mini was barely adequte.
Sure the aqualifter will move water (although not sure how much it can move vertically) but from what I've used it for (Top off and CPR overflow siphon) it's not adequte for use as a return pump. Plus it has a tendancy to clog so I wouldn't use it as a return pump if you intend for organisms to be pumped back up into the tank. |
