Aj, that sucks. Maybe you can use the expensive one until you can order a cheaper pump online and then return the overpriced one?
LBelcher, great meeting you! That wet/dry is awesome with the provisions for an auto water changing system and monster overflow. This thing is bigger than my smallest wet/dry wich is a ProClear 75!
Skiptons had a lot of really cool stuff I haven't seen anywhere else and not all of it was extremely expensive. Many sales with cool fish for 2.99 and under. Some rare and high priced plecos, Queen Arabesque, King Tiger and Leopard Frog. Big mats of Java Fern...and one of the guys working there chatted with us the whole time.
