Just had a look at my friends' CMCA Mag, and read about this Unit. I reckon they will be ideal for some GN's. Total cost of Unit, including Solar Pump and Postage, is $ 613.75, or $ 463.75 without the Pump. Cheers, Sheba. http://www.fcubed.com.au/aspx/carocell-panels.aspx -- Edited by Sheba on M...
