Anyone interested in getting some of these? I got some extra coming. I will sell them for $6 picked up at my house or my office in Nashville or we can meet some ware in-between I am getting some for supplemental flow and maybe mixing salt you never have enough little pumps. Just post on here if you want some and how many and when they come in we will work out the arrangements I already ordered 20 and if needed we can get more latter.

2 here as well if there are any left. These, if nothing else, will be great for mixing salt and such. Can't beat that at $6 each. :)

I just got mine in the mail yesterday, and filled up the sink with some water to see how it pumps.
LOL....that's a strong little pump! If it holds up longer than a few weeks, that will be a jewel of a find.

12 down if anyone else wants them just put it on the tread if there is a need we can order another set. I still have not gotten the shipping info on this yet.

Chuck if I order another set I will let you know. Sorry I should have posted this first.

just thought I would chime in and update on these so far. been using mine a couple weeks no with no ill effects. I have had to close the gate valve about halfway in my 12g nano's and still get a great flow.

I am gonna try them out on a wave timer as soon as mine arrives (any day now). I will come back and post what happens.

Looking VERY forward to the swap and look forward to meeting some of you and seeing others again!

Ok well I put these to the test on a wavemaker to see how well they come on and off. been running most of today and no problems so far. Like any timer that turns the ph on and off I am sure over time it weakens it but for 4.99 a pop I can handle that. Could easily get several of these at that price anyway.

So for 4 powerheads, the chauvet (currentsea) wavemaker from the auction site HERE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170181758297&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=170180720872&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=StoreCatToStoreCat&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget) all shipped to my home for a total of:
$70.14

Wayne,

do you maybe have 1 of these left I can use at the swap in a small frag tank? maybe one I could rent or trade for?

NeveSSL

The cool thing is that these things are DC. I'm thinking about cooking up a variable current wavemaker. I may turn it into a class project. :D Shouldn't be too hard...

Anyway, I got mine from Wayne yesterday and these things are GREAT!

Thanks for doing this, Wayne!

wayne...this little pumps rock!!!....only problem is the suction cups, mine only holds on for a day or two

I had the same problem with mine, since I have them on a wave timer they would pop off after about an hour.
I just put a bead of silicone in each suction cup and help it up for about 2-3 hours with a piece of pvc and they have been doing great since!

you got a pic of how you rigged it?

Did you put the silicone in your tank uncured, dzones?

I've heard its toxic until cured! :eek2:

no my lights are off now but all i did was just drop a bead of silicone on each cup and let it sit. I propped it up with a piece of pvc pipe from the sand. since I have all 12g nano's it was not far to go.


Did you put the silicone in your tank uncured, dzones?

I have all my tanks drilled now so I just killed the flow of water in and drained below the pump, added the silicone and then let it sit. I did not let it completely dry for 24 hours but it was just a small bead in each cup so I think it will be okay with the amount i used...
