Question:

water pump....?

i am trying to set up a small aqaurium (about 25 gallons) and i am looking for a water pump that will flow water through the aquarium for a period of time and then shut off, and do that like every hour or so. is there such a thing? a water pump with a built in timer so its not running constanly but only every so often? it doesnt need to move alot of water, but i only want it to pump maybe once every hour. thanks for the help

Why would u want this? Your fish would suffocate, you bacterial bed will die, there will be no water movement in your tank. If you want to have a good filter that makes no noise, makes air, and filters, then buy the JEPO liquid filter which is under water but attached to your glass, it makes bubbles and filters.
Don't know why you only want to run periodicly, But at home depot they have timer switches you can plug your pump into it and set the time you want it to go on and off.
Not sure why you'd want to do this - if you're keeping fish, it would be better to have it run all the time. Anyway, I don't know of any filters or pumps with a built-in timer, but you could get a 24 hour timer and set it to run or shut off when you want just by moving the switches for each hour on or off. With the price of household timers, it would probably be cheaper than to buy a pump with a built in timer.
