what size pump for your ato?

[jstdv8]

I got a used ato from a local reefer yesterday and I need to get a pump for it.
Is there a reccomended size for these things? I'm sure its not much since the lines are pretty small.
Any suggestions?

Do a search for Aqua Lifter Pump. They are like 16 bucks or so. Perfect for ato.

how about those white drums that are like 30 gallons, probably food grade, anybody know where I can get ahold of one of those?

I saw the price but not how to get it. I don't think he can get it in Alaska.

cool, thanks guys, I was hoping for those see through whiteish clear ones so I could see the water level. But If I can't find one of thsoe I'll get a pretty blue one.
I know my system takes about 2 1/4 gallons a day so I could easily calculate how much is in there at any given time.
