I just ran across these pumps The Best Nano Pumps, 250gph++, Gate Valve, 3-6w Power Supply - $4.99 : Fraggle Reef, Premium Corals and More (http://www.fragglereef.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2874&zenid=857b2aae40c204fb2d1dd7fce997d445) and ordered a couple. I figured that for $5 it would be hard to go wrong.

how cool is that, i just ordered an A. Hyacinthus colony from the same site !! mine costed a little more than that, but Miguel is a great guy to do business with. i HIGHLY recommend his site for coral colonies and frags, and i am sure that Carmie will recommend him for dry goods (limited supply right now) when she gets her pumps.

his customer service is "out freakin standing" !!

I have read many positive things about him and besides, how can you not like a place called Fraggle Reef??

Wow, nice find!

Well, believe it or not, I have finally gotten this pump installed in my NC24! I am really impressed with what I got for $5. Since the power supply is remote the cord is thin and easily fits into the slot on the hood of the nano. Based on my initial impression I recommend this pump. I ordered 4 of them so now I need to decided what to do with the other 3. :)

Uh, send me one for "evaluation"?

sounds like a great problem to have girl !! glad they worked out for you. i wonder how we could work out a TR group buy from Miguel ?? any ideas ??

Carmie,

i have one of these pumps as well. I had two problems with it. First, the bottom kept falling off, you know, the cover over the impeller? Second, the power supply that's plugged into the socket got really hot. I took it out. I haven't called Fraggle reef about this yet. When it wasn't falling apart, it worked well...produced a lot of flow. Hope you have better luck :)

Well after 24 hours nothing had fallen off and the transformer is no warmer than any other that I have ever had. I thought it was a little hard to snap the impeller cover into place so maybe that was a good thing.
