       Water Pump Recommendation
       By: Kalypso Date: March 8, 2015, 7:00 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I am currently looking for a very small water pump for a DIY
       canister filter for a rather small tank for a friend. (1.5G For
       reference) I found a guy who built something similar to what i
       have in mind, and the pump actually pumps through what seems
       like airtube. I was looking at a TOM AW-20 Aqua lifter, but for
       20$ it seems steep if i can find what i am looking for.
       Basically i need a submersible pump, that can pump water from
       the canister back into the tank, through airtube sized line.
       Much like seen here

       />Any points in the right direction would be super appreciated.
       And yes, i googled well into 2 hours trying to find something.
       :D

       Welcome to the forums Kalypso.
       Interesting question you pose here.
       If you wanted to go the DC route, there are a few really small
       submersible pumps. (I'm a little bit computer geek, hence this
       idea)
       This one has a 6mm output (airline tubing size).  You'd have to
       connect it to a power supply however, any 12 volt supply would
       probably be fine.

       Here's a cheap submersible pump with an adjustable flow control,
       which may be more to your liking.

       Personally, in such a small container, I'd use an ATI Hydro
       Sponge Mini.  Usually run around $6-7.
       Hope that helps a bit, let us know how it goes.
