Yes, I was thinking 12 volt. I've been looking really cheapo pumps off amazon, and the one I expect to get is 12 volt , 5 watt , (~.5 amp). Quoted flow is 240 L/Hr = ~1.0 gallons per minute however this may be over quoted.
Any thoughts on the 6" depth? What is the recommended minimum? I would like to go say 5" if that works. Am I bordering on the tank being too small? |

You can run a 12 volt pump on a 6 volt battery. I was suggesting it because your fill will be too fast with a 12volt if it’s going to fill in 3 minutes. |

About done. Went 6v. I imagine fill is around 5 minutes. I will measure later.
