ok guys i just now joined the club. :thumbs: 210g coming next sat and i cant wait. which of our sponsors would offer the best deal on a refractometer and a mag pump?

Welcome to the club!

Kinda sux, you JUST missed out on the Drs Foster and Smith group buy that included refractometers. But I checked their website and they are on sale. Here's the link:

As for the Mag pumps, I can't help you out there, but hopefully someone else will be able to chime in and give you some info.

Congrats on joining and enjoy the discount and the good people and knowledge.

Welcome to the family

Mag pumps can be purchased from www.aquabuys.com (http://www.aquabuys.com) Nice guy and really good prices. You can pick up the pump instead of having it shipped.
