I had a thought
Why wouldn't it work to take a battery powered canoe motor, build a tunze like enclosure around the propeller, and use it as an emergency display circulation pump for power outages or other nightmares?
I have one of these and if set on low It would probablly make a great temp battery pump. I'm picturing a small buckett with a lid with lots of holes all over it and a DIY brackett to attach it to the pump shaft. A wooden bracket could be fabricated somewhere above the tank to mount the motor portion.
Anybody have any imput on this idea??? If it worked It would be the ultimate reef saver in the case of an extended power outage, wouldn't it?????
