Got excited for a second and then I couldn't find them either lol.
I need a replacement, been using mine for over a year and need a backup/replacement
I would say that there are quite a few trying to find the Aqua lifter pump. Time for a tank upgrade :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Seriously considering drilling my tank while it has water in it to avoid having to use a lift pump.

I have tempered glass. I am thinking a DT with a coast to coast.

I likewise dumped my aqualifter overflow for a YouTube overflow. It was amazing out the box but after a while you realize how risky it is to rely on a pump to maintain siphon

Alright it's that time of year again. My Tom's Aqualifter has started to run into problems maintaining the siphon on my Overflow Box. however, I've run into a new problem (new for me at least). It looks like Tom's Aqualifter pumps are discontinued and I need an alternative that is okay to use continuously. I've noticed that in the description of the Avast Marine and BRS Pumps that they aren't supposed to be used continuously which is a bummer. Anyone have any recommendations?
I used another Toms - found on Walmart.com for $23.
