    Do they exsist?

    I dont want a perasaltic(sp) pump as they are too expensive, however i do want a pump that will pump no more then 200lph.

    Does this exsist??

    I need a slow flow for an experiment.

    Yeh a maxijet would be perfect as it has a 12mm outlet but they are at 400lph.
    However i have just discovered a 12mm tap that can slow the flow :)

    I have heard of people removing pumps from HOB nano-skimmers and using them. I don't know what the flow rate would be, but.........
