The casualness of that comment is frightening!

800 bucks?!?

<STICKER SHOCK!!>

Holy CRAP this is an expensive hobby when you go to bigger tanks.

it can be just as expensive downsizing

What scares me about those things is that ATI goes in and out of biz and tends not to support past products when they are in one of their frequent financial situations.

Yikes.


One thing to keep in mind though, they're using the same pumps as the new tunze skimmers, so if the pump goes, you can get one from tunze. If you need a new impellar, just buy a tunze one, and mesh it. If something on the body goes, IIRC, Fauna Marin uses the same skimmer body for their skimmers.

Very nice Liam. We'll send Moe by for a taste test.

I am going to DIY a thread wheel ASAP.

Joe:

I'd be interested in participating in that project.......

This is interesting to me. I bought Chip's BubbleMaster, since he went with a BubbleKing.

I can't get either of these pumps to fire consistently. They seem to be a bit worn.
