Or just use a 6v battery and forget the timer....Lasts all day and don't have to worry about the additional wiring.

You can set the timer however you like, up to 15 seconds each for off and on cycles.

I found an article that listed all the 12 volt bait and bilge pumps, and I got the one that draws the least.

I coupled that with a 6 volt 12 ah battery and 2.5 gallon bucket.

She runs fine and I have never had any bait die on me yet.

5 hours of running the tank, I only have to puts 780 mah back in, less than 1 ampere hour.

Round it off to 1 AH per 5 hours, I can run my tank for 60 hours with no timer. Even if I were 50% off, half that and its still 30 hours.

Works ok. Just sayin.
