Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
By the time you bought a kit and a pump you could just buy the Hydor. Definitely a case of penny wise and pound foolish, IMHO. We have parts and parts and parts, and (up until recently) had one working pump out of 4. Recently the shaft that the prop is on came loose on that 4th (and only working one). My money's on the Hydor.
