I am keeping phelsuma. In terms of lift are you talking about the ability of the pump to push water up against gravity? If so, maybe I didn't explain it right. The resevoir will be higher up than the top of the cage. This will make the work the pump has to do minimal at best. It will be attached to aquarium hosing. I will refill when the water level becomes low so I don't have a return on it. The pump should be primed almost immediately as the hose length will be 2 ft at the longest and will be working with gravity with the exception of a short length of horizontal tubing. The pump isnt very powerful so the water will fill up the tube and drip down at a rate proportional to the size of the holes (something i will have to tinker with). But maybe I misunderstood you're point. Thanks for the info and anything you could add is much appreciated.
