what pump would you all recommend for doing water changes? the water has to travel roughly 12ft. when going back in to the aquarium it does have to travel upwards. I was thinking of getting one from a home improvement store for a pond. seems like they would have enough head on them for this purpose.

my lfs where I live has the 9.5 for 140 and Id rather pay less for something that will move more water when at higher pressure. I stopped at the home improvement store and looked at one for $100 that is 1450gph with a max head of 18ft. I just think that the salt water might effect it
