Re: [GSAS-Member] solar air pump

I'll definately let you all know how it works. I'm hesitant about doing
the ebay thing if an item is used as I have virtually ZERO ability to
troubleshoot or juryrig if an item doesn't function. And I've been burned
on ebay enough times to avoid it unless I know the seller. At least with
Foster & Smith, I can get feedback about problems pretty quickly. Not
saying it's the best source, but it works for ME. This item was cheap
enough so that I could order one for a trial. I looked at the solar pond
stuff and it'd take hundreds of dollars to set something up. I'm just not
at a place where I think that's necessary to keep happy fish.
