Checkouty a sequence 1000 pump with sal****er seals. IIRC it has a
head pressure that will work in that height. AZPONDS.com is one and
probably the cheapes tplace to buy one at. I think the larger Danner
Mag drives will also work ok in sal****er and also provides
sufficieint head push.

Pondmaster Pro Hy-Drive pump are high head others are not.
On Sequence pumps all can be used in sal****er and a salt water seal
can be installed.

I'm thinking of moving my whole sump to my first floor that has a great
window w/ natural sunlight for a refugium.

I think it's about a 16ft rise back to my tank (20' for margin of
error), so would a regular oversized submersible pump work? I'd expect
lower water throughput then it's rated, but then that's why it's oversized.

If not, where would I find a suitable pump?
