if they are for your house just use the double plug in pumps there the cheapest option

thats probably your best option, but I would insulate them to keep the water as cool as possible I know this is probably common practice but my buddy doesnt and usually cant keep them alive through the warm weather

 The pump on the right is the one i us for my at home bait tank. It is very powerful. Has a 1-10 setting so you can adjust the lever of power. |
