Check these PH's out

[dzones]

I ordered a couple of these powerheads already and just awaiting them to arrive.

Powerheads

I have been reading about several other people on another reef site already using them with very impressive results.

pretty cheap and only 6.99 shipping for up to 20 of em.

 

[nam2212]

Very cool. I am about to order a couple of them. Anyone want to tag along on my order?

[SpiffWilkie]

Count me in for two.

 

[willember]

I don't know if it is the same powerhead but it looks identical to one I had in my nano a few years ago. the magnet totally rusted out...
ymmv

Nick,

If you have not ordered yet put me down for 2 as well.

I don't know if it is the same powerhead but it looks identical to one I had in my nano a few years ago. the magnet totally rusted out...

I think you might be referring to the aquaglobes that came out a few years ago. The owner of the site tested these for 4 months prior to selling them and specifically looked into that because of those model problems with rust and as of this point (5-6 months now I believe) there was no sign of that. you can check out the full link

hey Nick, put me down for one...I am still not ready to add water to the 8 gallon but maybe this is something I will need and if not ...can't complain about the wasted money since it is so cheap.
I don't think I would need more than one ..do you ?

Definitely only one in an 8g. You will probably need to close the gate valve some as well, otherwise you will have a sandstorm..lol

 

[nam2212]

I am going to order tomorrow, so if anyone else wants in on the order let me know. So far I have:

Me: 2
SpiffWilkie: 2
Reefdiver77: 2
zebrafish: 2
grannybj: 1

 

[dzones]

mine should be here tomorrow barring any shipping delays..

I will let you guys know if they do and how well they churn things up in a 12g.

I also snagged a 10pce frag pack for 99 bucks shipped overnight that is supposed to include 3-5 colored zoanthids/palythoas, 3-4 LPS, and 1-4 soft coral or mushrooms. All nano sized.
I will shoot a few pics and update after I get em set up in their new homes.

 

[waynesworld]

Taging along I want to see how these do.

 

[Fusch13]

Tagging too!

 

[nam2212]

Alright, they have been ordered. I will let everyone know when they arrive.

 

[dzones]

sweet mine came in today finally.
OMG these things are small. I will snap and post some pics later after I get em hooked up.

 

[dzones]

Ok here is a shot of the new powerhead beside a Koralia 1 for sizing purpose.

and I can say DAMN what a nice flow this thing can give off. Works very nicely in my 12g nano's. Had to close the gate valve a little though. too strong otherwise. very nice and unbelievable for 4.99 per unit.

 

[nam2212]

Allright, everyone, the pumps are in. Send me a PM if you want to arrange to pick them up.

 

[wjhuie]

How's everyone else like them ? What is the rated flow?

 

[nam2212]

Very strong for such a small powerhead. It is as strong as a MJ1200, but 1/3 the size.

 

[dzones]

How's the flow?

had to close the gate to about 1/2 in order for the sand to stay in place on my AP 12g. these puppies are awesome for 5 bucks a pop. I especially like the whole power supply on the outside at the plug. reduces a lot of the heat generated by most ph's that would normally be in your tank. every bit helps.

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 I linked in another thread, all shipped to my home for a total of:
$70.14
