For the Splitter I was thinking maybe you could just make one from some tubing, just to server as a splitter... not as a whole tubing unit. Just like sorta a water rig's "router."
I don't wanna get into the cost thingy, but I will say this... There are "cheap" pumps out there as far as cost is concerned. Those are usually cheap in quality too. Then there's the Ehiem's, Danner's, Little Giant, etc... who make damn good pumps compared to Rio's etc, but the price they charge is sorta like the price that you pay for a pair of Jordan's... In that, the shoes cost about $10 to make, they don't need to advertise much at all cause they sell themselves (thanks to idiots, no offense) so, they charge $150, and higher outlandish prices b/c people are...S**P*D enough pay that much.
This goes hand in hand with a plastic molded, PWM Mag pump, which hardly cost anything to manufacture and I've NEVER seen an aquarium pump commercial, billboard, sign? Only a few links from OC'ing sites. WHich I doubt the makers even intended the pumps to be used exclusively for etc. So people are willing to pay (why? I know, I know, but nm) outlandish prices for a $5 pump that's selling for $70-150!
Again, no offense, I didn't and don't intend to start a long piece of mud slinging about it. I just wanted to say my peace and be done with it, and hope to find a nice Danner etc... laying around, ha!
I'm NOT going to pay a lot for this muffl... PUMP!
