Pump + Piping to put water back into my tank during water changes?

[kingkapoor]

I dont like holding my 5 G buckets while I pour them into my 50 G for water changes.

Are there any super tiny pumps that I can put into a 3 inch diameter mouth of the bottle and tube it into my tank?

I have these.

There's plenty that small, however many have a limited lift height.

There are also water pumps with an inlet that you can connect a tube to as well, allowing a larger pump and greater lift height.

I use a Marineland MJ 1200
and tubing I bought from Home Depot. The pump can also be converted to a power head and I use it to mix smaller amounts of water when I need it.

If you have 5g buckets, go with arichmond1003's suggestion.
A maxijet with some tubing works great. If I recall, it's 1/2" on the output and a cable tie to hold it in place is enough. If you don't own a maxijet, go with the suggested MJ1200 for the head ability.
I do the same for some situations and also use an Eheim 600 for even faster water transfers.
I even have an old Quiet One 4400 for massive water transfers used to remove water from my sump before adding new water.
The sky's the limit !!

You can use some pvc fittings to make a 'U' to keep the hose in place if you're looking to transfer water from your bucket right into your tank.
