    Any idea where to find small external pump, something similar to the ADA ES 150 pump? Just need it to power up a UGF to buffer the water and add a tiny bit of circulation.

    Do you know what flow rate you need? You should choose your pump by the flow rate you need. Take a look at Sicce's Syncra Silent and Easyline series and Eheim's Compact series

    I'm looking for those out of water type, flow rate should be minimum for a 2ft tank, ES150 flowrate should be sufficent. It's not so much for flow, I'm running a ehiem 2215. This external pump is more for the purpose of buffering water, most people use air pump connected to a UGF, I wanted to reduce the noise factor of running an air pump through the UGF. The ehiem series are huge in size.

    yes..
    highblow is an airpump. I am just suggesting an alternative for Ingen since he only want to connect the external pump to a UGF which I thik an airpump is better investment as he can branch out for other tanks in future.. compared to an external pump which run the risk of connection problem and flood the house..
    attached is a photo of the highblow baby

    Sorry Fireblade, no offence meant. Just wanted to clarify so Ingen knows his options.

    I made a mistake. The Eheim compact is for in-tank only. Not external. The sicce syncra nano might fit your needs: http://www.sicce.com/prodottiLista_e...tipo=4/idcat=1

    Any idea if the sicce syncra nano is quiet in a bedroom context?
