6100's

I called the factory today and explained that we have really fallen behind. I hope it isn't eight weeks. While supply continues to improve, unfortunately demand keeps increasing to. I am very sorry for this situation and I really hope that I can at least keep it to 6 weeks.
 
It's not your fault Roger. That is just the way it is with a hot product. Everyone should know what to expect and I think you have done as good a job as can be done on giving people realistic answers/expectations.
 
I am happy to say that 30 6100 Streams have been shipped to me on the 14th- basically in 2 more weeks most of you should recieve your pumps.

Roger,

I got my 6100 with controller from Champion a couple of days ago! VERY HAPPY with the pump. Let me say that again. . . VERY HAPPY WITH THE PUMP! Tons of water movement with just one pump in a 225 gal tank! I could see using maybe one more (considering I already have a very strong return from my sump) but even this one pump makes the four Hagen 802's I was using look like a joke. However, if I could make a suggestion, the mounting bracket could be a little more heavy duty. The rim on my acrylic tank is about 6 inches wide. I've seen some people who drill holes for the bracket, but it sure would be nice to have a bracket that accommodates larger acrylic tanks without having to modify the tank. After all, these are kick a** pumps that are usually needed in larger tanks. I would hate to see the mess this pump would make if it were to fall into my DSB.

Thanks for your concern in filling our orders
 
Their is a bracket extension for acrylic tanks. It is part 3000.26 and basically it's like playing with an erector set- you will build an L bracket that goes under the brace. The bracket was designed before I came along and was pretty much designed specifically for European trimless glass aquariums. Ever since I have only been able to acomplish retrofits using existing parts to try to accomodate different styles of US aquariums. Really, I think the bracket design is pretty good from an engineering stand point. It is solid and it is versatile. Unfortunately their is no worldwide standardization of tank styles and it means every market has a unique problem with the holder. Suction cups would just flat out not work and we were working on a magnetic holder but their are so many projects in the works now that it kind of fell on the back burner. Ever since Tunze USA was started I get to preview and approve new products and suggest changes before they come to market and this has helped make the product more user friendly in the US. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to make a unique holder for every market because of the costs of molds and R/D. Thanks for the compliments. Just keep the pump clean and the electronics dry and it should last for at least a decade.
 
PS- Mike,

You will be getting your pumps next week, I shipped them to Premium yesterday :) Unfortunately, I don't have any controllers but perhaps Premium had some remaining in stock and I should have them soon.
 
Thanks again Roger. The magnet bracket sounds like an awesome idea. In the mean time I will order a 3000.26. Have a good one!

I hope to get some soon. I have plenty of single controllers at this time and I know 7 multicontrollers were shipped to me this week but it is really not enough. Logically I would assume since they had to ship 5 pumps to fill every order up to and including yours, if Premium even had 2 controllers on hand you should be getting one.
 
I think I am the third on the PA list so it looks like I will be out of luck for anything in the next couple of weeks. Assuming PA gets the goods and the additional Multicontrollers by the end of next week, 10/31, and they ship to me immediately, my experience for the wait period from order date to delivery date will be over 8 weeks (9/11 to 11/7).

There really isn't anything anyone could have done or could do to make it any faster. I am just trying to help expectations for anyone ordering in the future. If it lives up to it's billing, it is worth every bit of the waiting and is why I ordered mine three months before I needed them.

OK, I just posted the above, checked my e-mail, and, presto, my streams are shipping out tonight so the actual wiat time will be right at 7 weeks.:cool:
 
My 6000 are being shipped today form a store in Jersey.

Thank God!

I am getting my Multi controller also.

Anyone interested in 6100, 6000 or single or multi controllers send me a PM and I ill steer you in the right direction. They are available right now.
