reefgeek84 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I see what you guys are saying, but tunzes are so gawdy and big...These are really less obtrusive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yes, you don't have to defend them. I know there good, I just hate waiting for them to work out the controller, well see, I hope its soon. The problem is with battery backup (150) 2 pumps (350 each) and controller (250 or so on the low side) we are talking 1100 bucks for pumps to get the flow I want. Thats alot of dough. I think that the other big dogs in town will see the profit and jump in with some pumps as well. This will only create more choices and more competition in price and efficiency... Sorry to get offline with your thread. They are good, Im just a cheap bastard and will probably take me a while to talk myself into them... not even going to what it will take to talk the wife into them.. Thats a thread all on its own.

reefgeek84 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I am not defending them...but U think it would be awesome for some one to come out with something like it. My guess, is that ice cap has numerous patents on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yah i love seeing all the new competition. Except i thought when it happened, things would be cheaper and Tunze might lower their prices to compete. But the new competition just priced their stuff up there with Tunze!!! DOH!

DOH![/quote'] Typical marketing... but as there becomes more competition it will FORCE prices lower. There just isn't that much competition, and the sad part is why would they reduce prices when they cant even keep the stuff in stock right now? That would be insane! Good stuff though...
