If someone volunteers a pump for the test, I'll cover shipping (you take PayPal?). I'm not done testing mine yet

Yeah, the fuse is probably best. (Of simple solutions.)
A circuit to shutdown the supply in the event of excessive pump current draw wouldn't be a bad idea. A resistor, transistor, and normally closed relay might be all that's required. (More likely, additional components would be needed. The circuit can't react too quickly, or high initial current draw as the pump spins up, would immediately shut the PSU down.)
Yeah, I take paypal.
