Pump Recommendations

[krb]

I am in need of a small pump for my ATO. It needs to have a max head around 6.5-8' . I was thinking of a Gen-X 1500 or Quiet One 1200. Anyone have any experience with any of these? I guess I could always use a Barracuda but I think the holding tank would be empty before the controller could turn off the pump

if you want to spend alot just get a small mag. but seriously those pumps are too powerful for just a top off, unless you use 100g a day.

I have a mini and micro jet and neither have the head pressure needed

I don't want to spend that kind of money for an ATO. It is on a 20 Gallon w/ 4.5 gallon fuge. I keep the refill tank in the stand and total head pressure is around 6'.
