I was cleaning out my shed and have a few small things to sell.

Hangon Refugium has a light that goes on top but needs a new bulb $25

Two ampmaster pumps. THey both were working when I took them off but I couldn't get them to kick back up. This would be for somebody who wanted to tinker with them. $30 for both as is

ampmasters sold. Everything else still left.

Got one of them running today... I have not had the chance to look at the second one yet though.. I plan to put one on my daughters 50g tank.. I will be replacing the seals in it first just to be on the safe side though... I also found where they sell a manifold just for this pump, so I will use it for tank flow, to run a skimmer, and anything else I can think of... Pretty much I plan to make it a "self contained" system, with everything running off of one pump... Should end up with some crazy flow..

That should cause some major flow. Was it something simple to fix it?

pretty simple.... they both had pretty bad calcium buildup behind the impellers, causing them to lock up.. the motors had some pretty coarse dust lookin stuff that would have been part of the problem too. I took the 3000 apart today, and it was basically the same story.. I have also decided to replace the impellers on both. They have a stress crack where it rides on the seal. Must have been a common issue with these pumps.. I called Dolphin today, and they said if I ship the pumps to them, they will refurbish them free labor.. I only have to pay for parts, and then they will put a 1 year warranty on them.. (Not that I am crazy about warranties ATM). I think I will just have them send the parts to me instead. It looks like I will basically have two brand new pumps for about $100 in parts! I am thrilled! the pumps go for about $350 a pop new, so they are well worth the $50ea investment on parts.,.... Thanks again!

Does the fuge come with a pump? Can you take a bigger picture?

Thanks
