ASM price raise

[reefman77]

The asm skimmers got more expensive. The G3 is now $309. I probably will not be getting one for my new tank. Il get an MR-1 instead

I cant imagine being in high school and paying
$300 for a skimmer. That must be one heck of a part time job you got there to even be considering such things.

Or, maybe Im just showing my age, in my day you could by a
CAR for $300. Not a great car, but a car you could put in the ditch
and not cry about.

 

[reefman77]

My parents are paying for the new tank. I do the reasurch and maintenance

Try being a college student with parents that are down paying for stuff and buying one of these skimmers with the new price. I sell video games on ebay. Sigh

You better love your parents, when I was in school my father told
me if I wanted lunch money to get my a** a job and pay for my own food, otherwise there was cold bologne sandwiches to eat.

If I had asked for a $300 skimmer I would have needed $300 worth of dental work

Where are you looking at? I just googled up a few stores and found a G3 for $245

I love Google

 

[thrlride]

a lot of places have the G3 for $309 most notably the once best priced place. Premium aquatics still has good prices on it though.

Reefgeek has the G3 for $259 with free shipping. Premium Aquatics has it for $260.

Guess I won't be buying from there.
BTW savko.com now has uniseals, $2.16 for the 1inch versus $3.99 from asmskimmer and co., as an example.

If looking for an ASM skimmer defin go with http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=ASM Before thier prices go up!..

 

[goslugsgo]

G-3 for $255 here.

You have to also be careful though, ASM initiated a MAP (minimum advertised price) and will not warranty their product if you purchase it from a vendor selling it below that price.

according to what im seeing the G3 at yourreef is $309

 

[BLANKENSHIP76]

I bought one from Premium aquatics two weeks ago for the mid 200's

 

[BLANKENSHIP76]

sorry, just checked they are 309 now, wow sorry!!!!!!

I had an MR-2 before and I like my asm MORE it is much easier to use and maintain.

ASM is killing the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg. They skim well, but appear flimsy and they leak. However, people will put up with that if the price is low. If the price goes up, people's tolerance of cheap manufacturing will go way down....I guess we'll see!

[BLANKENSHIP76]

Yeah I paid 260 for mine and love it, however @ 300 I may have looked into a euroreef? Oh well, I was lucky enought to snatch it up at 260.

 

[tigerarmy40]
