Cheaper isn't always the route to go.. unless you get the expensive item used then that would be a good save... but agreed with dawgdude..

Should have settled for a "yard sale race car bed", and a nicer tank....

To your question, see if you can find a used Mag 3 or Mag 5. Baring that, Home Depot, Kmart, and Wal-Mart sell inexpensive fountain pumps. Just make sure what ever you buy gives you enough head.

GPH isn't all that important on your sized tank...

Put up an add in the want to buy section. I am sure someone has one laying around for you. Save some coin that way

I have a thread up for that, i trying to trade corals for 1

 

[smoothie]

Wish I hadn't given mine away. I looooove to trade.
Everyone else does too. You shouldn't have to wait too long

I am trding for an overflow box thurday but no one has stepped up with a pump yet

Go to Keen Reef. They have these Eco pumps that I use for making water. They're quiet and I think they have a couple of them rated high enough for you. I bought a 700 gph one for $38. Not sure about how it handles head height though.
