lol.. duh... but since it hasn't sold out, we could still get this..heheh...

Now we will be the only two guy who got a tunze skimmer.... how cool is that,

 

[alrha]

he he.
as soon as i get the money from my light, it is going right to this skimmer.
(FWIW, Premium Aquatics has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee to return it if we dont like it)

Nope... Not yet.. I'm feeling like a guinea pig if I buy it.. ..

Spakes, 9020?? That is alot more money $686 and 42watts.. hehehe.. that is my excuse..

Tunze Doc 9015 is what i'm aiming for now.. But I hear the 9010 is for more for barebottom... I need more info..

30 days, that does sound tempting... But is it no question ask return or only return if there is only problem with the skimmer?

I'm doing a little more research on which one should i get.. The 9010 or 9015 for barebottom...

from what i understood, talking to PA on the phone, it is 30 days if it was not what you expected (i.e. any reason) and after that only if there is some sort of defect. He said it is all in the policy posted on their website, may be a good idea for us to actually make sure we see it in writing on the site.

Tom,
My AP600 only uses 19 watts
No feed pump since I tee off the return.

but i think yours cost somewhere are $700? The 9010 cost $327..

how is the deltec AP600 doing for you?

 

[pecan2phat]

The AP600 list for $585.
It kicks the crap out of a Euro-Reef CS8-2-RC that I have on the 90g. The ER listed for $678 and is about double the footprint of the Deltec with an 8" body.
Both create very fine bubbles but the Deltec can produce uber nog vs the ER.

 

[ctxmonitor]

now I want a AP600 instead.. hhehe.. It can be setup externally, right?

Hey, its listed as 20/watt not 19..

 

[alrha]

I still prefer the Tunze for its size.
