I'm thinking of using an Aqua Lifter pump for topoff but I'm not sure if it will pump high enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The ads for it say 30" maximum. DrsFoster&Smith has them for $10.

Thanks. I may not be able to use it since that's going to be close to where I was going to put it. Guess I'll have to stick w/ the MJ.

After doing some thinking, how high can the Aqua Lifter draw water up to? Maybe if I sit it on top of the water container it will have enough to pump the water into the tank.

It believe its about the same pushing or pulling. If you can have them real close, there alright but other than that there pretty much useless.

I dont know if this helps but i use mine to dose kalkwasser and i have pushed it 48" from the floor to the top of my tank but at that height you will only get one drop per second.
