Need an Ampmaster like yesterday...

tdwyatt · 02-15-2008, 09:07 PM

Hi Guys and Gurls,

I am in dire need of a replacement 3200 GPH Dolphin (Ampmaster) marine pump if anyone has one or knows of one locally that I can buy (even retail at this point, $$$, the days will make a difference). If I cannot find one by Saturday evening, I guess I will order one and overnight it ($$$) here, I thought the one I had in storge would work, but apparently there is some isue with the seals I have a Sequence that puts out 4500 GPH, bit it will not fit in the space I have to work with, alhough if I HAD THE TIME, I WOULD THINK ABOUT REWORKING THE ENTIRE PLUMBING FOR MY DISLAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

If any of you know of a retail shop that has one, I will make arrngements to get that one Saturday if it is within reasonable driving range (up to ~150 miles away or so). For now the Tunzes are keping the circulation going inside the display, but this means no skimming, no ATO, no heat, no phosphate reacotr, no Ca reactor, no carbon for the time being.

good Lord Tom, if i had one it would be yours.... but have you contacted OF or AO to see if they have something they can help you out with till you can get a new one ordered and installed

Don't have any pumps that powerful laying around. If you need any help reworking the plumbing I'll be free all weekend.

Way to go Timmy!

TimmyG · 02-16-2008, 10:28 PM

Tom, give us an update when you get it hooked up.

No further thanks necessary, I'm just doing what reefers do, or at least should.

I will post pix here tomorrow, I bet I have the largest collection of stony coral skeletons in the Southeast now...

Some of the corals may recover, but the tank look bleached right now. Pix tomorrow after I do the resizing. I guess I'll be pulling a number of frags from the frag systm to start over again...

OH NO I hate to hear this

Keep us posted.

hng · 02-17-2008, 08:32 AM

I'm free all day, call me if you need a hand with anyone. I have to go to lowes too (to buy some paint), so if you need any fittings, I can drop them off.

tdwyatt · 02-17-2008, 10:02 PM

I posted pix in the main reef discusion...

OUCH, Tom! I have some nice corals that you could have.

OK Tom, it's been a week, any updates?
How's what was left doing?
