Tunze 3152 Nano ATO - saltwater

[chipchipbro]

hi guys

is the tunze 3152 able to pump saltwater?
I am just asking because I want to raise salinity by filling my top off canister with saltwater.

i do not see why not? it's made to pump water, but the salt creep can definitely cause issues if not monitored.

 

[polyppal]

yeah it would work fine for that

Those pumps will work in caustic limewater, saltwater no problem.

ok because someone told me they are only able to pump freshwater

I only want to pump 10litres of saltwater and then i switch back to freshwater..

why not just do it by hand? that's less than 3 gallons.

i want to do it slowly.. its only a 20g nano tank

Just because some german dude told me the pumps were made for freshwater only. As they are low voltage freshwater pumps.. So I just want to make sure it works.. well I mean worst case I need to buy a new pump.
