The Eagle has landed!!!

xinumaster · 10/29/2006, 08:30 PM

alright let see some pictures...

Maximus · 10/29/2006, 08:41 PM

Doh! Sorry, I meant that it has landed at Reefgeek. Greg is shipping out my 250 tomorrow.

Mchava · 10/29/2006, 10:40 PM

Maximus please post some pictures once you have it set up. Hopefully the second shippment will be here soon. Since I am on that list.

xinumaster · 10/29/2006, 10:50 PM

max, can I pay you a visit ones you have it setup. I'm thinking of getting one too for my 300g project.

Oh, by the way were are you in CA?

LA-Lawman · 10/29/2006, 11:02 PM

i am gonna get put on the second list..... I want a 250. R.J. kinda had me sold on a 200. I am gonna call reefgeek in the morning....

Maximus · 10/29/2006, 11:14 PM

Xinu,
You are welcomed anytime. I live 25 miles south of Salinas, and if I have it set up by this weekend, I will pm you. For those of you who are on the 2nd shipment, there is a slight chance that the bm250 wont work for me as my stand has 23.25" of room to play with. I went ahead and took a chance on the 250 as it is 21.7" tall. I would also need an additonal 1" or so to remove the cup so it's gonna be a close call! If it doesnt fit ( I am praying it does) then guess what might be for sale?

Newreeflady · 10/29/2006, 11:45 PM

Ooh, I hope the next order is going out, not sure when the second round will come in (i'm on that list.)

Ben, order before the end of the month to get the discount...

can't wait to hear some firsthand reviews of the bm series.. as well as some pics of them in action..

Creetin · 10/30/2006, 04:16 AM

Well i have been sent an email saying that they charged my account and will be shipping it off.

Thanks Greg. You west coast people will probably get yours before i get mine. I am in the midwest and usually takes 5 days for ground.

xinumaster · 10/30/2006, 11:08 AM

Thanks, max. I got a membership at monterey aquarium I might go there and try by your house to check out your skimmer.

orientalexpress · 10/30/2006, 01:16 PM

yeah baby,mine is on the way.

xinumaster · 10/30/2006, 01:49 PM

lapsan, you're closer. Maybe I should see BM then. Which one did you get the 250?

perry

orientalexpress · 10/30/2006, 03:44 PM

neotekz · 10/30/2006, 06:25 PM

anyone know if these will be sold online in canada? their website said that proline aquatics will distribute them but to who?

Ginzo · 10/30/2006, 07:20 PM

I've been asking the same question !

I've talked with Allen from JL Aquatics (http://www.jlaquatics.com) and he said that they were looking into selling them..but so far now, no news about them actually selling them. I figure it will take some time, before we see them up for sale.

ReefGeek does accept international orders to Canada, but I figure the shipping charges and custom charges will be heafty !

Let me know if you find anything !

you're probably going to be looking at 20-25% increase after customs and taxes...and then the conversion.

what do u guys think of the threadwheel though? will it last? doesn;t look like the most durable design, almost looks like someone made it in their garage.

The thread wheel has been out for over a year from what i can tell. so far so good. A few of us have made are own versions and it really rocks. It shows really no were to speak of, so far.

Some of the best inventions were made in a garage.

neotekz · 10/30/2006, 10:24 PM

it doesn;t loose any of the nylon fibres? it looks so simple though. are u talking about the threadwheels that use the gutter guard? there's got to be something out there that is more similar to the nylon threads than the gutter guards

it's work great and it's hard to believe what it's perform yes it's very simple and the mesh not loose , when or if you try it you not going to believe that it's your skimmer

Ginzo · 10/31/2006, 08:29 AM

Yeah for sure ! We always get screwed here !

No, im not talking about the Gutter guard im talking about the mesh.
mavgi has been using it for a month or 2, and others longer so dont think durabillity a real issue. Maybe have to change it in a year or 2. ive had pinwheels not last that long.

mavgi have you got yours yet?

steve the plumb · 10/31/2006, 09:09 AM

ginzo and neotekz. My cousin lives in New York.I can order the skimmer for you if you want.I or my sister go down there often more my sister than me .We will be going there soon since you order on line most of the time no tax and free shipping.I can bring it back and ship it to you it wouldn't be a problem.I think finding the skimmer in stock might be a problem.I don't know when the skimmer will be available maybe Roland Knows.If you contact reef geek to find out and you can get one I can order it for you guys or you can order it and ship it to my cousins home.I will be going down there soon

hahnmeister · 10/31/2006, 01:00 PM

golfbomber · 10/31/2006, 02:53 PM
