So buy multiple equipment? Sounds wasteful. Also you know everyone eventually gets an apex. Because it's like getting married or having children. Once you do it you tell everyone else how great it is so they will do it and you won't feel so dumb for being alone in the venture.

Lol. My apex controller is actually the one piece of equipment I regret selling the most. It seems that it has jumped in price as well. Even without a tank I have come across dozens of thing I could have used it for.

Water blasters are:

Quite
Use low hydro levels
Have a decent head pressure for an internal pump.

Have a 3 year warranty.

They were known to leak voltage however though, so maybe look into this.

(I run water blaster 3000 on my system)

I was kind of waiting for you to give your expert advise on all things hardware.

 

[unibob]

Far from an expert. I try to only comment on things I've seen in use or use personally.

Mine does not leak voltage and have had for over 3 years. I have never removed it to clean, it was taken out of service for about a year I would say, giving it probably 2-2.5 years of runtime.

I have seen and felt many that are leaking voltage. Never a ton of voltage, but just enough to tingle.

The worst was @BIGSHOW before his upgrade when he had several in operation, he couldn't feel it through his gorilla fingers if I remember right, but I could feel it and it was a solid tingle :/ lol

Which is probably true, however remember that pets and ponds does a lot of freshwater equipment too.

what does that mean? any on the list not great with salt?

Lol. Probably not. But I'm sure you are aware already that salt tends to be harder on components than fresh.
When it comes to getting opinions on saltwater equipment I personally would only be taking advise from guys that use the equipment for saltwater purposes.
I have a feeling that may also be Jerrys point.

Exactly. I'm not sure that pets and ponds does a lot of posting on here or any other saltwater forums for that matter.

I have been running my Jebao DC12000 for over a year now, almost 2 I think, and love it. The 6000 would be perfect for you, but they are also controllable, with a feed mode for 10 minute shut down during feed with the push of a button. I love em and they are cheap.

 

[Nonuser]

But if there cheap, they can't be good. If I have learned anything from the short time in salt, is expensive = good

Not 'cheap' but cheaper then the expensive ones. That is a whole other thread debate though lol.

Okay, I pulled the trigger on the return pump and on Monday I'll be getting a Jebao DC12000, Because I'll be damned if @TORX has a bigger pump than me!
