Look at the ViaAqua 1300 at DrsFosterSmith.com. ~$17.00 + shipping.

They have a performance chart to show GPH vs head. I use it daily to replace
7.5 gallons at about 4' head, takes a minute or 2 using a 3/4 ID clear vinyl
tubing from Home Depot.

Perfectly quiet. So quiet I have not noticed that the pump was on when I
grabbed the hose to remove it from the water storage bucket where Id left it
to recirculate -- oops!

I have it plugged into an extension cord with an On/off switch at the plug
within reach of the tank being refilled.

My water change system calls for a pump that could pump 15G of water up 4
feet within a few minutes (around 5 mins). The pump would only be used
once
a week (for those 5 or so minutes), or as often as my one tank requires
its
water changed. Any recommendations for a cheap, yet somewhat good pump?

Thanks,
Harry
