Cheepest place to get mj1200 ph's in city?

[Delphinus]

Call up Pisces and Riverfront and see what they have maybe.

Big Al's doesn't sell them, don't bother looking for them there. :(

I got mine at Wai's. They were $50 (well, $50 and change, can't remember the exact price, may have been something like $52) each over there. Gotta have an excuse to go to Wais every once in a while (suchhhhh nnnnniiiicccceeee corals .....droooooll)

Kim mentioned that home-based business in the south, near you guys. Tails & Scales?

If you go there, could you pick me up a couple?

Dang, never even thought of that.

(Calling them now.) $42.99 each, and they have "a whole bunch" in stock.

[AJ_77]

None at Petland...

Is 2 x 295 gph not a virtual "storm" of current? Am I being nervous about blowing the place around, or does most of the current flatten out and distribute nicely?

Cheers!

I have 2 MJ1200's in my 75. It is barely enough flow for my liking at the moment! No sandstorms.

OTOH, two Mag 7's .... (just kidding.) That would be nasty.

Jon - realized it may be a bit much asking to "pick me up" a couple of 1200's. That's close to a hundred $$; no problem if it's a problem.

There's always Danny's. I like his shop too, but I feel like I'm putting his kid through college when I pay his price...

[Delphinus]

You could always come down to the south and pay us a visit smile.gif (T&S is about 2 blocks away from me. Not even halfway the distance from my place to Jon's place.)

I thought cheeping was what birdies do. :confused: :confused:

[Aquattro]

I think the correct grammar is "..was what birdies DID". Not "do", this creates a tense shift.

AJ,

At one point I had five MJ1200's and a MJ900 in my 33 running on a wavemaker. Well three 1200's were. As well as my MAG7 return. So I don't know what ya mean about a "Virtual Storm of Current" ;) :D Two MJ1200's is nuttin.. :D

or does most of the current flatten out and distribute nicely<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nope. Next to weather, water flow is probably one of the most difficult things in nature to predict. Even in a tank like this. In a pipe we can make predictions. In a tank? nope. Too many factors. It will swirl and twist all over the place. The only way to have calm water is to shut the pumps off.

Hey, these giant AquaClear ph's, are they good? Quiet? Reliable? Just wondering, haven't heard much aboot 'em.

sorry Alan, i just got home and read that you wanted me to get 2 for ya. Oh well like tony said gives you a reason to come see my new set up!

[Canadian Man]

The title speaks for itself!

A thought here. I was just at Pisces, and they have Penguin PH's on sale. The 660 @ 170 GPH is $29.99, and the 1440, which does I believe 395 GPH is $39.99. That is a few dollars less than MOPS, but no shipping to pay. I bought a 660, and with a small mod to my tank frame, it hangs nicely. It will also hook up to a biowheel, which I might have to get for my FW tank, as Nitrite probs should crop up.

[AJ_77]

Ok, what about this AquaClear 5000 PH that Darren had? Any thoughts/experiences on that unit?

It would be like having 3 MJ1200 running...
