Recommend a pump for water changes, please.

I use a marine bilge pump for mine (mostly because I wanted it to be low voltage voltage pump).

Bilge pumps are generally higher volume and less pressure than a lot of other pumps, but I bought one of the smaller available pumps (rated at 600gph), and it pumps lots of volume at ~6.5 feet, at least 200 real gph, but 10 feet might be stretching it. A bigger pump like 1100 or 1200 gph could probably handle the head.

They're cheap, like 20 bucks, or maybe more like 40 for a big name brand model. They draw 2-10 amps depending on the size, so you just need a decent 12V power supply and you're good to go.

Maybe the mag drive 950. I think its about 90 dollars. Check the specs

Most bilge pumps don't list their max head (since their installation will normally only have 2-3 feet of head), but this one is advertised as 2000gph with 6.4 meters (19.5 feet!) of max head. I bet it would do 1000gph at 10 feet. $32.99 + the cost of a 10 amp 12V power supply.
