is there a reliable 12v pump? besides the innovatek eheim? and one thats not a bilge pump?

and one that hopefully could be bought seperately, cause buying a thermaltake aquarius for the pump is definitely not a good idea....

I think there's also a 12V Eheim out there. If I remember right, it's equivalent to the 1048.

Are you sure that the koolance pumps are 12v AC? That wouldn't make any sense, since your wall outlets are about 110v AC. The pump in the link that nikhsub1 posted is 12v DC, but it would require a few capacitors to filter the noise it would dump into the 12v line. Check out the link I posted for more info on that pump.

Koolance pumps are 12V. They run off of the PSU.

The Johnson 12V pump is reliable, to a point. The brushed motor will eventually wear out, but it will take a while.

Try looking at petstores and ask them for their inline pumps. I 've seen one called a dragon or something similar that people rave about.
