Any thoughts on the 6" depth? What is the recommended minimum? I would like to go say 5" if that works. Am I bordering on the tank being too small?

You can run a 12 volt pump on a 6 volt battery. I was suggesting it because your fill will be too fast with a 12volt if it’s going to fill in 3 minutes.

About done. Went 6v. I imagine fill is around 5 minutes. I will measure later.
