2k3Taco Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 ive never owned a powerhead.. can i completely submerge this thing? Link to comment
~_~ Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yep you can submerge them. Just don't submerge the end of the cord that plugs into the ac adapter Link to comment
~_~ Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 =¬_¬= Here's a pic of the globe 200 that had the impeller failure...After getting a new impeller it's been workin fine. I forgot that the tab that adjusts the flow on it broke off when I got it as well...>.< Link to comment
NJLuke Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yeah mine just came with a big opening where water got sucked in...hmm...that sucks bro. man... -A tad disappointed Link to comment
onthefly Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I love mine! For $11....I got the pump, the foam filter, hard filter, the venturi line and transformer. I saw some pics of the rusty magnets awhile back, it looks like they changed at least the composition cuz before they were lighter in color, and now it is almost black! I can totally see where that cheesy tab gets snapped off! For the size, I think their the shiznit! Link to comment
2k3Taco Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 just got mine from these guys. it had the sponge. what incredibly fast shipping! Link to comment
el_dante Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 You guys think 2 AQ 200's are too much for an Eclipse 12? My quess is that being that they have adjustable flow, I should have no problem. Also, they are all the same size, right? Thanks Link to comment
robsreef Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Yes they all are the same size. You could just adjust the flow easily to keep things from blowing around. -Rob Link to comment
OscarBeast Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Well I stuck one of my 300s in my 10-gallon. Let's just say that I had to shut the flow to the point of being OFF before it was slow enough for my tank and it still tore some of the flesh off of my galaxia. Link to comment
OscarBeast Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 On a side note, I have already had to replace two impellers out of my three units. Don't put them on a wave maker. They don't seem to like it, but at least AG replaced them for free. The magnet comes loose from the rest of the assembly and spins free without turning the rest of the impeller. Link to comment
el_dante Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Man, I'm so caught between buying them and passing them over. They seem to have so many problems, yet everyone still seems to like them. What to do, what to do?!?! Link to comment
robsreef Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Yup hard to pass up but I'm sure your mileage will vary. I have had mine for about a month now and have not encountered anything bad. Who knows 6 months from now if I'll be in the same boat but for the $11.00 you really can't go wrong. They are small. They are easy to hide in the background. (In Nanos that's especially important) And they put out a whole lot of pressure for something that small. Maybe Aquaglobe will eventually get it right and I have read that they have a 2.0 version (don't know or can't tell you how to check, or if these are) that has addressed the failing impellors so you just have to toss the dice on this one, I'm glad I did!!! So far..... Link to comment
el_dante Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I figure I'll give it a shot. I just ordered two. Like you said, for 11 bucks per ph, I can't go wrong. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment

I looked at the newer globe200 that I ordered from this place and the magnet looks like it has rust on it and I only used it maybe twice to test. None of the other globes I have had has had this problem...zzz Link to comment
