I spent money today like one. Almost $400. at home depot. $140. at Jhemco. I tried for 4 Magnum filters at Ken's and at Pet Mountain, but they are both out of stock >:( Wanted 18 micron filters as well, but I'll make do with what I have until one of them has the filters back in stock.
Everything I bought is for fish or at least fish realted except the Dremmel which is for grinding dog's nails at the shop (my old one died) I bought 2 batteries for my DeWalt 18 volt tools. I consider that fish related because I mostly use the flash light to lure the bbs to the bottom of the hatchery.
I sure did have fun. It had become a downer having to put off my wants and needs due to lack of money.

Pet Mountain has them at 6 filters for $40 something. I was going to wait until the filters themselves were back in stock to order but I should buy them now. Like Ken's they offer free shipping at $75. and I was going to order 18 filters. They also price match. Ken's is selling the 250's for $54.95. I doubt that price will still be in place when they get them back in stock.
I'll go do a little more druken sailoring now.
Another 18 micron cartriges on the way and another $121.50 bites the dust.
Sounds fun Liz. Who needs a mall, right. ;) Not me.

...18 ???????.....you do clean them after use too....right???
Of course ::) They still get to be hard to fit over the bottom piece and it's hard to push the middle thing with the holes into them. I'm running 7 Magnums now and want 4 more. I need the cartridges.

I have extra tubes, so I push one partially in while they are drying.....the same size PVC (cheap) would do the same thing for keeping them stretched when air drying.... ;D.....my Mom had jean pants stretchers when we were kids...that's where I got the idea.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
great idea. Thanks
where did you get your magnum 250s from as that is going to be my next filter i am going to buy
Big Al's and Pet Mountain go back and forth having the best price. I just got notification tha Pet Mountain has them back in stock. They will match Big Al's sale price of $54.95 if you phone them.

$30 each for HOT mags....???....where at?..
Oh shit, I mis-typed. Should have been $220. Pet Mountain matched Big Al's price. Pet Mountain has them in stock. Big All does not.
