I have two old powerheads I'm planning to use as return pumps for a small 10 gallon sump. I know this is not ideal, but I guess I like a challenge. So here's the thing: I can't figure out how I will prime them! I'm planning to use flexible tubing instead of pvc. Don't know if that really helps though. Any ideas? Lost cause? If so, can you recommend a good, and most importantly cheap, pump rated for 600-1000GPH?
