    Solar pump is workable, but you need sunlight to power it... otherwise on cloudy or rainy days, no flow.

    I got the mini solar pump for my outdoor container garden from eBay, quite cheap only $10+: http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...577#post753577

    One way is to use the air lift pump, provided you are already using an air pump.

    I did a DIY on this before. This is my earlier post:

    Feel free to post your questions and I will try to answer if I can still recall.
    from 14L to 8L tank.

    Re: water flow

    I came across these articles and designs a while back, it uses the concept of harnessing wind energy to operate flow or oxygenation devices (without using electricity):





    Source: http://www.fao.org/docrep/t4470e/t4470e0l.htm (this is an informative research article on oxygenation in aquatic environment too, interesting to read)

    Only thing is you need windy conditions for it to work.
