I was going through the sponsor pages just surfin & came across this new pump coming out & I'm floord, I am honestly thinking on purchasing one just to see. thought everybody might want to check this out. http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/ca...d=422&osCsid=ffe0429269c5cf620e1ba2a1224032b5

Wow, that is such an amazing idea, especially for those hard-to-get-to places. I wonder how much they will cost when they release.

 

[adams0816]

I heard $350

 

[Brandon Lovato]

yep they are somthing like 325 or so the 50 dollars is just a deposit

 

[bmwardo]

I saw one and was most impressed with it. I like the fact that the cord and electricity was out of the water.

yea, they look pretty sweet....supposed to have a 24hr built in battery backup too.

For 325 I hope it has a hell of a rutrn/parts policy.

that is just an option you can get to power the pump, kinda like a UPS for your 'puter.

for $345.00 it better pump more than the water in my tank...

It's going to be Icecap branded isn't it? I saw it a while back. I was intrigued, but certainly not $300 intrigued.

 

[castorpollux]

but it it has a 10 pump controller available with wireless operation i don't really think you can go wrong. you could hide them any where behind your rock structure too. im sold, i will be buying a couple of these i think, i just want to see the options available for the wavemaker.

I can build one heck of a closed loop for $350...and not be on the bleeding edge of new technology.

 

[castorpollux]

i like the control issue though if its comparable to the tunze with the 30% to 100% variable especially if its capable of running 10 of them at once in different variations.

 

[adams0816]

I like the fact that no electrical cords in the tank

 

[cubuffs]

Can they be controlled? This was the main reason that I purchased my tunze's.
