Are you associated with the company?

If so, you cannot make such a post.

That said, I wonder which one dies when it runs into a long spined sea urchin?

zachfishman · 06/08/2010, 01:57 PM

It's like a roomba! Only worth it if it docks to a recharger somewhere (and can corner). AND can remove my coralline!

Allmost · 06/08/2010, 02:09 PM

it is not smart (AI), and it lacks documentation.

not a good design IMO

would have been much better with a couple of optic sensors, a recharger, a wireless transmitter and ... .

Well considering this username is the name of the product I would say he/she is associated with the product. Just a wild guess

Randy Holmes-Farley · 06/08/2010, 02:17 PM

Yes, but its polite to ask before soemone is banned.

Ha ha.. He's a turd..
The only thing I see that "Auto Cleaner" doing is pushing my Turbos off the glass, so they can fall in the sand shell down, and die....

at least he's not hiding his identity, I'll give him that. worse are the people who pretend to be not associated with the product they are peddling.

runyonh · 06/08/2010, 03:02 PM

Looks awesome I am willing to give it a try, tubos get out of the way.

timdam · 06/08/2010, 05:06 PM

i meant "how effective it works" and not "how it works".

anyways, i would buy it. but then that would just promote every other business to advertise on these forums. so unfortunately, i can't.

muttley000 · 06/08/2010, 06:27 PM

If I don't have time to clean my glass, then I don't have time for a tank. Another fine example of the overpopulation of engineers IMO

InsaneClownFish · 06/08/2010, 06:38 PM

Not even I'm that lazy.

Honestly, it's a neat and "novel" idea, but I can think of a myriad of reasons why it not only wouldn't be that effective, but would outright be a bad idea to use in a home aquarium.

Rich D · 06/08/2010, 07:24 PM

i could see that thing hitting the sandbed then automatically cleaning the whole front display leaving a trail of scratches

timdam · 06/08/2010, 09:11 PM

Thinking about it now... although the guy did break a major sin on this site with promoting his product, i'm not going to dog on his product. I mean, he's probably a reefer just like all of us. and is starting a business to try and feed his family.

all in all, it looks like a neat, clean, and cool product and it seems like a good idea. good luck to him!

I tend never to do business with any company that does not post a contact phone number on their site. Leads me to believe they do not want to be contact and/or make it very difficult to communicate if there is an issue, etc. FWIW......

HippieSmell · 06/09/2010, 08:25 AM

I would market it as public transit for snails, but that's just me. Or, maybe the iSnail.

besides this place being the wrong place to advertice, how is this thing going to know when it hits the walls ? is it going to disturb my sand bed ?
will it push my seastar out of the water ? how will it react if the magnetic side inside the tank got detached ? how would it know a long spine urchin is being dragged with it ?

some thing u guys didnt think about ehh ? damn new engineers who make us all look bad @!!!! u ppl forgot all about that ring u were supposed to be wearing on ure working hand !
