ATO Build

I contacted aquahub last night and it looks like one person will have to order all the kits to get a discount. I will do so but each person will have to send me an additional 3% to cover paypal fees if we make the deal. Again it looks like it will cost less than $55.00 for the deluxe models. If we get 8 people to go in, we will get a 20% discount so that would make them around $44.00 each.
Here is the email I received from aquahub.
Hi Philip,

Unfortunately, the only way I can do it is if one person places the order and pays. Sorry. Also, just to reiterate, the discount only applies to our Top-it-Off Kits and not the JBJ ATOs.

Thanks, Philip!
 
Sounds good to me Phil, we will get some more people lined up and get these in. I think I may want one regardless of the discount but the discount would indeed be nice. You can not beat an auto top off with 3 safetys for $44.00 esp when someone is willing to help you build it, that's a great deal IMO.
 
is this project gonna be available with some kind of "conferencing" for the internet crowd ?

I sure need a good top off system for cheap !
 

Ok any more takers on this, $44 for an ATO with 3 levels of safety is a bargain IMO and something that a lot of people really need. We need 8 signed on to get the discount, if we get 6 I will get the last 2 just so we can do this project but we need a few more to commit or we are moving on.
 
Here is the list I have:
Spinnerbait
Apapas
Phljess
Xavior 64 (CVRC forum)
Rnthrtfan
Firefish2020
Mr. Bibbs
Steve Beaver

I believe we have gotten over the eight mark. I will email aquahub and see what the price will be and get back with everyone as soon as I can. If anyone else wants in you need to let me know before Tuesday. I will probably make the order then.

The price will be $42.00 for the units but I just contacted aquahub.com to see how much the shipping will be. As soon as I know the amount I will have the final price everyone will need to pay. You will also need a pump to finish the build. Many people use mj 900s for the pump but if you have a long distance to go you will need a larger pump. We will also need some 1/4 inch tubing for the pump and some parts to get it down to 1/4 inch so I will estimate how much that stuff will be and let you guys know.

Here is the new list:
Spinnerbait
Apapas
Phljess
Xavior 64 (CVRC forum)
Rnthrtfan

Mr. Bibbs

Aquahub said we would also receive free ground shipping. So I am going to set the final price to be $53.00. This will be enough for paypal to take its fee and leave me approximately $7.00 to buy any other components needed to finish the build. I will buy components to convert a mj 1200 output to 1/4 inch tubing, this will be needed so we can add a kalk reactor to the ATO as a later build. If you wish to use a different type of pump that is fine but I will only buy fittings to convert a mj1200. It would be too difficult for me to buy all different kinds of parts to make each persons pump work. So all you should need to buy or bring used to the meeting is a MAXIJET 1200 PUMP. I will ask Barry to order some for us and see if he will give us a discount on them.
