looking for a cheap option to move water from a 50 gallon brute to my tank the cheaper the better

I use a Colbalt MJ1200 with some silicone tubing.

Power head and vinyl hose is what I use it’s a little slow but better than a bucket

i bought a Sicce Syncra 3 - it does the job VERY easily. You could prob get by with the Syncra 1.5 depending on how high up your tank is...the Syncra 3 empties the brute in a matter of minutes.

Dont spend a bunch of money on this. This pump will work just fine

is that yours ?

 

[xxkenny90xx]

No but I've used the hydor return pumps. The work fine. They pump water!

Just keep in mind, the more gph the better

Just keep in mind, the more gph the better

so you think that will be more than enough?

 

[jguerin88]

that one says it’s got 7.5 ft of foot pressure

Looking at the ad now I see it says 740gph in the title which would be fine but in the 3rd picture the box says 320gph which is a bit slow.

I'm willing to bet its 740gph which will do the job easily but I'd probably message the seller for clarification

I use a mag model 7 as a general utility pump and had it for years. Once upon a time I even used it for a hydroponics system. I generally use it for draining 50g out of the house into a Brute and for filling the tank back quickly from another Brute. I keep about a 15ft piece of 5/8 vinyl tubing attached to it. Think its listed at 700gph. Mags are just great pumps for the money.

Found a good one, it’s a 1056 GPH pump that can push water 12 feet high and comes with a 15 feet long cord for $43.

I’m using a neptunes pmup it’s like 50 bucks new.. an important thing to note is the head height and distance needed from brute to tank

I use a ryobi pump 18volt battery operated or you can plug it in I also use it to drain tanks fast

 

[jguerin88]

what size tubing will fit this /which is the beat to go with

 

[madweazl]

I use a Rio 2100 for this. About seven years old now and just chugs along (was originally a return pump).
