Pump question

I need a pump to go from one room in the basement to the closet sump.... the height is about 9 ft up; 20-30ft across the room then into the sump.

here is the setup... I have 1/2" tubing going up and over into the closet i then convert to 1/4" tubing so that I can hook it up to the float valve in the ATO container......

I was using a Mag7 but now its not working (stops moving water around the 7ft mark). Im trying to stay internal.... Which pump would you recommended for me to try?

The frictional head loss through 1/2 inch tubing is pretty high. Might be better off using 3/4 or 1 inch rigid, at least up to when gravity will start to take it "down hill."

Holy crap!!! When I saw you recommended a diaphragm pump, I'm thinking, "That's not going to work." I just looked up that pump......and it states that it will pump up to 130 feet high! I'm impressed. HERE's the link. Good stuff Joe.
