The instructions say to recirculate the BLC through the beer lines for 15 minutes. Has anyone devised a pump to do this? Maybe an aquarium pump?

No and the set up to do it is really expensive. Just letting the soak has always worked well for me.
I only spent $25 between a cheap submersible pump and a ball lock barb adapter. I end up using about 1-1.5 qts to clean my kegs. I think the hand pumps people grab from the hardware store is usually about $10. A bit more expensive than using CO2 to clean from a keg, but I think it's cheaper in the long run. I clean between every keg, usually until I remember I'm cleaning the lines.
