Meet the Aqua Lifter Pump
Its been an excellent accessory for water changes for my ADA Mini-S. The new water is gradually added back into the tank and far kinder to inverts. We do our best to match the gh/kh in new water but nothing is perfect.
I generally do a water siphon then prepare this pump to run along side a bucket of new water then run hoses to both. The return typically takes about an hour to fill so once you get a handle of how long this is going to run, its much easier to plan around.
This may not be needed for fish tank but certainly has been a handy accessory for my nano tanks. the return is also gentle as not to upset the plants, mosses or sandy substrates.
There are two accessories available: a tank hanger and prefilter.
$15.99 from amazon or from other online retailers. Another potential stocking stuffer idea from me to you
Happy Holidays!

- Since my working space is rather cramp with several young kids around, i find the hanger to be very practical in having this out of reach.
- The prefilter is handy but not necessary if you only intend to source water from a clean bucket. The prefilter prevents granuals or debris from entering the pump to prevent damage or clogging. its required if you intend to transfer water between tanks or from sources of water which are not entirely clear of debris.
