    the pond pump is quite an ingenius idea but its probably a 240V pump (as url is broken so i can't check (even if i remove the duplicate http://)) whereas a PSU only outputs 12V & 5V

    EDIT: got url working, power should be ok as long as you have a beefy PSU, it doesn't say the voltage of the pumps just the power they comsume

    I believe those Eheim pumps are 12V, despite plugging into a wall socket---don't quote me on that, though. I'm not sure on the power draw off-hand, but given the popularity of Eheim pumps for DIY watercooling setups, finding the info on hooking it up to run off your power supply should be pretty easy. You can splice a 4-pin molex in lieu of the AC adapter quite easily if it is in fact 12VDC, and not using AC current.

    Again, Eheim pumps are widely used, so some Googling should give you a lot of results.
