Thanks. I've got a 12v that puts out 300mah. Will that harm the pump or just not let it work at it's full capacity?
300mA will not harm the pump, but it will not be enough to make it work. Likely scenario, your 300mA power supply will overheat, spew some smoke, maybe spark and crackle a bit, and go poof; worse case scenario you'll have a power supply on fire to put out.
This pump is rated at 12 watts. Since we know it operates at 12v, we can use POWER (in watts) = VOLTS * AMPS and work it around to POWER / VOLTS = AMPS and we have:
12w/12v = 1a
So your power supply must provide 12v (it's safe to say +/- 0.5 volts) and be able to handle 1.0 or more amperes.
Rules of thumb when working with electricity:
1) always match the voltage between source and load (leave the +/- X volts for the pros)
2) Power supply provides amperes >= load consumes amperes, which translates to:
2.1) Power supply rated at equal to, but preferably more, amps than load consumes
2.2) Load consumes equal to, but preferably less, amps than power supply provides
