MGXsport Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I think I am going to go with the small 13 inch aquafuge. Would this be enough for a 10gal? Where is the best place to buy one? Link to comment
onthefly Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Sure! I love mine! Check out www.amekaaquatics.com they have CPR factory seconds for $74 shipped! Link to comment
MGXsport Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 did you get a factory second? How do they perform? Link to comment
MGXsport Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 I just looked and they don't have any factory seconds How often do they become available? Link to comment
SDMike Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Originally posted by MGXsport did you get a factory second? How do they perform? If you're talking about the seconds from Ameka Aquatics, I bought a BakPak2R second. To tell you the truth, I couldn't tell you why its a second. I also bought the bubble trap box that said it had too much glue on the tag. Couldn't tell you where that was either. You have to go to the right spot on their website to get the seconds. Sometimes they have some, sometimes they don't. Mike Link to comment
onthefly Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 That blow's! They had them for months. Perhaps it's a revolving inventory thing. The second looked and worked great! I did have a small problem, in that the internal baffle came unglued from the wall, so there was a slight bow and some water was leaking by. With some consult from the acrylic lord buddha....I got it all ship-shape! I love it! Worth it at full price to me! Link to comment
theclearblue Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 They do have the 18 inch, you could squeeze that onto a ten gallon. http://amekaaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchan...y_Code=_SECONDS Link to comment
MGXsport Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 They must have just put it on there. I ordered a new one from Drs. Foster & Smith for $20 with shipping. Hopefully it will be here around Thursday so I can get some sand and rocks into it. Link to comment
Case Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 ok newb question... whats a factory second mean??? Link to comment
dagermain Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 ABOUT FACTORY SECONDS: These are 'FACTORY Seconds' from the CPR Aquatic manufacturing facility. They all carry the normal warranty that CPR Products has for their entire product line. CPR Aquatic classifies "FACTORY Seconds" as those units which have "cosmetic blemishes, but are structurally sound". AmekaAquatics will hand-pick the best they have, and ship you the best they have, until such time that we run out. Again, these are 'factory seconds', that are structurally sound, yet have cosmetic issues. Such as minor bubble marks along the seams, or scratches that do not affect the integrity or functionality.

FishingInMyNano Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 you got the CPR hob aquafuge for 20.00 shipped? if you did thats a hell of a deal. If i could do it all again, I think I would go with the ecosystem. Link to comment
MGXsport Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 Sorry no I meant $20 more with shipping than a factory second. Link to comment
Case Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Ameka Aquatics for the HOB 19in is: $84.75 (seconds) $ 9.95 S&H ------------ $94.07 Total At Marine depot its about 110 with shipping so its dam close if i get the lighting at marine depot i get free shipping on orders over 150 so at that point i dont know who has a better deal its just a few bucks diffrence so im wondering juse how worth it "seconds" really is...
