Pond Pumps Cheap! Need to go!

[ProfEd]

Hey everyone,
I am a coral reef hobbyist, but I recently came into several pond pumps that I need to get rid of.

They are Cal-Pump Torpedo T-10000 model pumps, suitable for fresh or saltwater use. They pump 10,000gph. They usually go for about $330 online. They are new in the box. I have 3 available.

-$120 each! (plus actual shipping)

Thanks!
Ed

p.s. I know I am new here, but I have years of 100% positive feedback on Reefcentral (which is a huge website for reef people) under the name "Acro-Ed."

welcome profed I hope you find someone that is a good price right now I'm looking for a decent air pump that does not cost an arm and leg

 

[DebraLynn]

are they used? Do they have the optional filter. Is this the pump that goes in or out of the water ? I had to glue my pump togeather this week.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, these are new, never been out of the box. The wattage sounds right...they are very powerful pumps (especially for their size). They are about the size of a football (only heavier...lol). The pumps I'm used to dealing with are 1000-4000gph, I've never really used pumps this big. I'm sure they would be great for circulation in a pond though (or to run a waterfall). I gave one to my Dad and he is using it to run a waterfall in his pond. Anyway, if you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks!
Ed

Oh, and yes, they can be internal or external, but if run externally they need to be at or below the water level.

I do not have any filters, etc. Though I'm sure you can order them for a reasonable price.

Thanks,
Ed

So Ed
Did you join just to sell your pumps? or are you here for the long haul?

Hoping to get some new ideas. I've worked for two different aquarium stores while in college, and I've learned a lot about ponds, and done service work on several. I don't know how much I will be posting here, but I'm always eager to learn more and see other people's ideas. I am looking into a "pond-less" waterfall for my yard right now, but it would be something much smaller than what these pumps can put out. On that same note I would also be willing to trade one of these for a smaller pump. Thanks for the inquiry.

Many thanks for the welcome, j.w.!

As per Dave's messages, I am retracting this listing. I apologize for violating the rules of GPF.

Thanks to everyone, and I hope to "see" you in a different section of the forum.
