We now have two pumps where the ceramic shafts have broken. I am not sure what types of pumps they are. Anyone have some replacement shafts or know where to get them semi cheaply? Thanks.

Heck, we decided our aquarium crap collection was not yet extensive enough, and decided to extend it:

It just seemed like too much fun -- we ordered 3 to make it worth the shipping... it gets here later this week :D

Sherri: Maybe its a sign -- when you're ready to get rid of tons of odds and ends, just get a few boxes... start throwing random crap in em, and post em up here as "Sherri's Who-Knows-What Grab Bag!" or similar :D

Personally, I just like the fun of "what the heck is it gonna be?" with this box of crap thing... they combined my 3 boxes of crap into a single box for UPS shipping -- its 43 lbs worth of crap... I'm intrigued :)

If you combine them -- it will be packaged as a single box... no one wants a fight over who gets the best crap :rofl:

I would open the box of crap early and if it was good, I would toss all of my crap in there and hand it over! :)

I have alot of crap, but now we are going to have a house! MORE CRAP HERE I COME!

Tater, any lessons you can give me supreme guru of the crap hoarding packrats?

So, I got my boxes of crap... I dunno that I would order again, but it was fun :)

Of the good items:

Hagen automatic feeder
Sedra 2000GPH pump, complete (used)
Some other mystery pump, 1500GPH, missing the impeller and assembly
Acrylic polishing kits

Of the bad/crap items:

Lots of reptile/fish medications that were a bit old, and of no use to me
A complete box worth of air stones (when all 3 boxes worth were combined)
A picture frame with a fishing rod and tackle box -- automatic xmas gift :D
Lots of fake coral decorations

Of the bizarre stuff:

12+ year old Intel webcam
Microsoft IntelliSync '95
Empty burnable cdrom cases


All in all, it was fun, but I doubt I'll make a repeat performance. The Sedra pump about made it worthwhile -- its a serious water mover :)

lol at Intellisync? Why even? I think the boxes of junk they sell are probably after they fire an employee. Whatever is left at their desk they shove into a box of junk. They probably have side bets going on it at their office.

From what i read, the company and dock workers just have fun with it.. It started like a woot bag of crap, but became their best selling item... I've seen reports from like what i got, all the way up to full light fixtures, nano setups, and boxes full of (15-20) halide bulbs... The dock workers have gotten into the 'crap' spirit and made it an all-purpose junk drawer.. I knew it was a craps shoot, i got a nice pump and a TON of airstones out of it :)

IntelliSync 95 made me laugh out loud :)

On an unrelated note, anyone wanna buy some airstones?? :rofl:
