Pump to move water from saltwater storage to tank

I am looking for a pump/powerhead to move water from my holding container (rubbermaid bin) to my tank. I only need it to move water about 4-5 feet up. It doesnt need to move a ton of water since the most i need to move is about 20 gallons.
I was thinking a Mag3? is that overkill? I want to spend as little money as possible.

this is why i love this site! i went to the LFS to see what they had and they told me a MJ1200 would never be able to do it because there isnt enough head pressure. of course they also wanted 50 bucks for the mj1200

A MJ1200, will do just fine for you, I used one for the longest time, I don't anymore, but it did definately do the trick. $50 wow, you should be able to do alot better, like 20-30 sounds better. paid about 20 for mine.
