Aquarium pump

Michael Price · Jan 27, 2021

I have recently set my t a k up and have come across a major hurdle. I made a diy overflow (like king of diy on youtube). Turns out it won't work without a pump at the top of the overflow. I have looked at toms aqualifter but can't find it anywhere except Walmart and it's expensive for what it is. I am desperate to find one as right now my tank sits completely still and lifeless. What can I use to suck the air out and keep a constant suction there?

Another option is a dosing pump but I doubt you will find a "name brand" that is consistent and cheaper than an Aqualifter. Here is an EBay one which might work:

AB21 adjustable peristaltic pump, industrial grade peristaltic pump, long life, single head design. 1 x Dosing Pump. The pump body flow can be adjusted from 1~250ml/min. Adjust the flow rate with the knob.

That would be perfect. I'll look for something very similar or another seller. That one won't deliver till March
