Thanks Louis! I say go for it... I mean, who couldn't use another tank?

And you're right. I have seen some of these pumps listed for as much as $1000 US .
I lucked out and bought mine from an engineering firm that had extra.

Cheers,

man, i would really like to get one of these metering pumps, as it would make my life real easy when it comes to break....... anyone know of a place that I could get one for fairly cheap (im a college student, so budget is limited! ) Thanks!

Hey bro...
I got one word for you: Ebay.
The digital models are pretty rare on ebay but the regular models with a knob to adjust stroke length and a knob to adjust frequency will be just as accurate and are pretty common there. There are some good deals to be found. I would reccommend going with the lowest-dosing models you can find. They will still be more than enough for even the largest reef but they will be a little more compact and the noice made when the piston fires will be a click instead of a clunk. They really arent a problem though, I had it under my desk and never heard it until I made a consious effort to stop and listen for a couple minutes until I heard it.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I have started a new project and have a thread going on it here:

Best of luck in all your reefing endeavors,

Chad, man. It's 3:30am and I've spent the last 2 hours reading your thread. I have to get up for work in 4 hours. Hah, get up - haven't gone to bed yet! Read through to page 17 and had to skip to the end after that to post some comments.

Truly inspirational. Love the cube. Love the videos. Love the Sylver song, just picked up two of their albums after hearing it. The entire presentation is simply magical; You're a class act in every sense of the word and I feel privileged to have stumbled upon this thread.

Thank you for all of this. You've moved and inspired me in ways that reach far beyond reefkeeping.

autofish,

Thank you for the amazing compliment - it is really gratifying to hear that this made an impact on someone. I have really grown to regret tearing down the 8" because, of the two sizes, it really seemed miraculous.
I am pumped that you took the time to read through the thread and watch the videos. I hope that you aren't hating me for it later today when you're falling asleep at work .
I have started a new project if you want to check it out. I have to warn you though, it isn't as inventive as my work with the cubes, nope, everything just fell into place with those... they will probably always be the highlight of my time in this hobby.
Thank you again,

- Chad
