I was going to order an AC Jr combo for it's discounted DC8. Anyone interested in just the AC Jr itself?

What you would get is a brand new AC Jr ($162), Backlit option ($28.50), Control interface kit with includes the interface module and two 3-prong control modules ($71.95) totalling $262.45 + shipping. These listed prices are from Scott @ Aquarium Specialty.
Every item except the interface module would be NIB for $200

johnstone supply l38-714 $101.13 have to call to make sure of the price

Fry, I don't think the one you listed is wired.. $130+shipping for a pre-wired Ranco from DIYreef.com is not too bad if $101.13 for a none wired one.

Yeah but two 12 gage extension cords will cost you $8-10 from HD, I think your labor rate is a bit more than $20 a hour? It maybe cheaper for some folks but I think not for the majority here.

[FRY]

again just showing that $130 is a very good price for it wired

[cali_reef]

Pecan, I think all new ACjr are backlit now, you can get the serial port/connection option for $28.50 more.

Hey B, I'd be down for a Jr. I'd like to see if we can get a few of us together for this. I'll look into some pricing. Could take me a few days. If you are in a rush I'll understand.

Anybody who's interested, we can start an informal list here and if we see enough people I'll start a new thread and link it.

Thanks,
