I'm looking at buying 1 or 2 cheap pumps to do water changes with. I have one for my saltwater mixing stage and I am curious if I can use the same pump to fill my freshwater ATO when it runs low or since it will have been exposed to salt water will that be a problem? I kinda doubt it's enough salt to make a difference but I figured I'd ask.

You would probably be fine to use 1 for both. The amount of salt that would get transferred is insignificant.

For years I used a cheap maxijet mj 1200 that was supplied with the BRS dual reactor years ago. Think there like twenty bucks now. Even the cheaper sicce syncra 1.5 would work at $60.
