Question:

What is a good inexpensive water pump for my fish tank?

I am planning to make a overflow box for my 55 gallon saltwater tank and need to know whats a good pump to get the water back up???

Answer:

Rio pumps are inexpensive and are very very durable. I highly reccomend them. I keep my sump level fairly low so that when i see bubbles in the display tank cause the pump is sucking a little air, i remember to add top off water. My pump sucks air about once every other week prolly for a few hrs at a time, until i get home from work and its still going strong! (I know this isnt the best way to do it, but if i dont run it low enough for it to suck air i totally forget to add top off water). I havent had to replace the pump yet. I also replaced my outdoor garden fountain pump with a rio. It sucks up leaves and junk all the time with no problems (except when the leaves cover where it sucks the water but thats not the pumps fault lol)
rio makes good inexpensive pumps thats what I use on my 120 reef and protien skimmer check out dr foster and smith they have good prices
