Anyone remember these?

There was a thread with some small nano pumps being sold for about $5 each which were about 2" in size.

Well i found the original thread but the site that sold them doesn't seem to sell them anymore. :unsure:

Does anyone know where to get these? Or did anyone buy more then they need and want to part with one or two?

They are cheap. I believe they were called fraggle reef pumps or something. I got mine from Saltwater City, but I do not think they carry them anymore. BUT, they may be able to help you find them

I still have several and I really like them for my QT tank and various temporary applications. I would not rely on them for something vital. I actually have on ein my fuge right now.

Here is the bad:
-They run on 24 vAC. Not too bad, but each one uses a transformer so it takes up a lot of room.
-They sometimes start up backwards. Easy fix.
-If you dont use them for a while, they freeze. Easy fix, you just pop it apart and spin it around a few times.

Altogether for 5 bucks they are great for small applications, and easy to fix if they do break.
