The_Colonel Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I need a pump/powerhead recommendation for an ATO on a small (28G) nano tank. I am looking for something that has a very small flow (almost a trickle) at about 5' of head. Anyone have experience running a MJ400,600,900 at about 5' of head? How about a Quite One 800?

I just checked at RCA and they do not have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absolut_racer Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I had purchased one through Aquatek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Colonel Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks for all the advice. It looks like the aqualifter is the way to go. I have never been down to Aquadome, but looks like I have a reason to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjohn Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Are yall sure the Aqualifter will push water 5 feet high? Aquatek on Burnet Rd. carries them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Colonel Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Are yall sure the Aqualifter will push water 5 feet high? Aquatek on Burnet Rd. carries them. It should be able to pull up 30", and push out 30". As long as I keep the pump in the middle (and I have a shelf there), it should work.
