Power heads

[OCtrackiepacsg1]

naw don't worry about it. Shipping is really expensive. The first powerhead I bought my brother accidentally shipped it to his apt in MN so I had to wait for him to send it here which cost him 8 bucks to ship. I can see this powerhead going for around that much maybe?

[OCtrackiepacsg1]

Lost the bidding, I told my brother I'm willing to bid 12 bucks and I was willing to pay 18 bucks for it. But he thought 12 total. The powerhead went a little over 12. I think I'll drop by smart to go see if they have any maxi jets there as Ebay has no more good deals for powerhead right now.

Does anyone know which one is right for me? I heard its 10gph per gallon but I found something that matches that and it says its for 75 gallons when I have 14 g

you mentioned a big consideration...take shipping into account and add it to the cost.  i usually just pick up a few PH's when i make an order from F&S, or someplace similar.

if you don't need a PH quickly, wait for MAX and see Dirk (i forget the name of his company, but it's Dirk's ______).  he always has MJ's on the cheap.

with a 14 gal setup, do you really need a PH, or are you swapping the pump out on a BC14?

yea, if u can wait, then i can bring one of my extras.. that can b a good reason to meet u and ur parents

[Just_Greg]

it's funny how after you do this awhile, you don't think "i need to go buy a <insert item>"...you simply go grab one from your "private LFS"...

that's how you know you've passed into true aquarium geekdom!

i think jakes favorite lfs is my garage

One of them was sold in less than 5 hours it was put up. Is 100 gph good? the one online cost 11 dollars 9 bucks+2 dollars shipping. Right now I'm using my HOB filter for circulation and it seems to be holding up for now.

100gph aint nothing...

[OCtrackiepacsg1]

[Bergy]

i would suggest something in the 500+ gph range
