Small powerhead for auto top-off recommendations?

LiquidLunch · 10-09-2005, 06:43 PM

I need a small powerhead to deliver water from a container into my sump for auto top-offs. I was looking at the Maxijet 400, but was wondering if there is a better choice? Will the frequent start/stops make me look at a certain brand? thanks

any small maxi will do, I don't like rio pumps but I use one just for TOP off on My tank , Rio 600. In the top off it can't cook my tank.

The amps factor was something that I wasn't aware of. I was concerned with the small gauge wire used on the floatswitch but it looks like it won't be a problem. I was leaning towards the MJ 400 and will probably go with that one. I have a MJ 900 and 1200 and they seem pretty good.
