Great pump for the price! By Tony on 2/1/12
Tony wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I originally used this in conjunction with my Reefkeeper for a topoff pump on my sump, but I found that it loses its efficiency/power quickly over the distance it has to pull the water/solution from. For this reason I upgraded to a Aqua Medic SP3000 peristaltic pump that can pull from my reservoir that sits about 40 feet away.
However, I ended using this on my daughter's 40g reef tank that has a CPR overflow. It works perfectly for this applications!!
TIP: If you use a overflow..get black vinyl tubing to use with this unit. You will probably set this pump on top of your overflow right were your tank lighting is = major algae growth with the clear tubing, which leads to clogging and decrease pump flow.

Can't be beat By Nate on 9/6/11

Had one of these pumps pushing fully saturated kalk for over a year now. Just ordered a new one just in case, but the original is still going strong. Draws the kalk up 12 inches then pumps it three additional feet up to my tank. Combined with a controller or timer and you have yourself the perfect dosing pump. Works great as a topoff pump, too. Amazing little machine!

I'm using it to work as a constant siphon in my overflow box. For this purpose it works great and saves me from any worries of an overflow from a power failure or air bubbles.

I have two of these. One is for my auto top off system and the other keeps the siphon going in my CPR overflow box. These are great pumps and well worth the price.

For topping off you tank you can't find a cheaper or more effective pump.

I bought this with my Reef Fanatic ATO unit. It operates silently and does a fantastic job. Delivers a slow drizzle of water, perfect for adding top-off water to the sump. Great value too.

I use one of these for my auto top off. I works great! it is quiet and has ran for 2 months with no issue. The only problem that I have with it is the hanger is at the top and when you hang it the tubes will bend.

This thing is hard to beat. I have one in service continually for two years. It does its job, and it does it at a very reasonable price.

Great product! Using in with RKL and float switches. Easy setup and just load enough to know when it's working but not annoying sound. I love this with my ATO, wish I built one sooner!

Cheap effective top off pump By Kenneth on 9/14/10
Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend
Absolutely silent operation. Moves enough water to top off just about any size tank. The prefilter is a must if you're dosing kalk, calcium, etc. The pump will eventually get clogged and burn itself out without the prefilter. On that note, this pump is rebuildable with OEM parts sold on other websites. (Something I suggest BRS start carrying)

Works great for overflow boxes too! By Lisadawn on 8/24/10
Lisadawn would recommend this product to a friend
I have had one of these on my 30 gallon "backup" tank for at least 2 years now to keep the siphon going on my overflow box. It has never once given me a problem, and has prevented many overflows of the overflow-which I used to have and worry constantly prior to buying and installing this pump. This pump is the single most valuable, versatile and affordable piece of equipment you can get for any aquarium. It is also VERY QUIET. You will find yourself checking to see if it's plugged in!

Inexpensive ATO Pump By Aerobic on 3/8/10
Aerobic would recommend this product to a friend
Purchased Aqua Lifter Pump because I wanted an external pump for my ATO system. Works great and very efficient. No need to worry about the pump heating up the water. Summer is coming and the last thing I need is another pump in the sump heating up the water. Highly recommend and you can't go wrong with BRS company!

Great kalk delivery pump By Ray on 3/1/10
Ray would recommend this product to a friend
I bought this pump after realizing that my Tunze Ozmo pump was too strong for my Kalk reactor. It’s a great slow dosing pump for things that require little to no accuracy. I would not trust it to dose 2-part, but for RO top off or kalk, it works great. One bit of advice, if you should ever get air in the pump, turn it on its side and give it a few taps. Repeated this process one all side to work out all the air bubbles. This should insure you get the full flow the pump has to offer.

I have used this pump for almost a year now on my auto top off system with kalkwasser. This pump is a great option for ATO or dosing. Still working strong after almost a year even when using saturated kalkwasser solution.

I bought one of these for the diy aquahub top off kit sold here. Flawless operation and you cant beat the price.Cheap enough to buy 2 and use to feed your calcium reactor and ATO
