Avast Marine Works equipment.

[TH3C1SC0K1D]

I'm interested in purchasing some equipment from Avast Marine Works but I have never heard any reviews regarding the build quality of their equipment or functionality & efficiency of their devices. Can anyone chime in with their reviews.

Great stuff I highly suggest there products.good people too.

good stuff (at least the protein skimmer)
I had great customer service as I had several questions getting the skimmer to fit and considerations of an alternate pump

I did a summary and review of my skimmer build here

Amazing customer service and a very well built product. I have left reviews for them in the review section of this forum....

They are sponsors on here, and have their own forum section..with MULTIPLE reviews in it. Never heard a bad word about these guys.

I agree. I recently purchased a kalk stirrer and media reactor. I did the YOU BUild, saved on cost and it was easy. Total happy with my purchases:celeb1:

Another vote for great stuff and great customer service. You can save a few buck if you do the DIY stuff they have. I built one of their reactors and it's very simple project.

they used to be called grey seas aquatics

I have two of their MR10 tall reactors. I love them. The acrylic is thick, the lid seals well, and the hose connections are union barb fittings. The fittings allow me to disconnect the reactor and change the media without messing with hose clamps. They are well made IMHO.

I just got 2 MR5 reactors. They look great but I haven't water tested them yet

Great stuff from Avast.

I have a Swabbie, Locker and a K1 Kalk Stirrer (DIY). Everything works great and makes my life much easier.

Here the link to my build thread with some pics. (towards the bottom).

GREAT QUALITY, GREAT MATERIALS and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

In a nutshell, they are AWESOME!

I have their CS1 Cone Skimmer (which pulls out the best skim mate to date on my system) and MR5 Media Reactor and I did "You Build" which saved some money to spend on frags

There are instructional videos on their website and believe me the videos makes it so much easier to build anything by them!

You won't regret your purchase!

Agreed, great customer service and awesome products. I think they are a fairly small co at this time and know how to treat their customers. When they get to big we all know what happens...sometimes !! I'm ready for a new bio-pellet reactor. I think I'll call um up.

Yes! Great company. Their ATO sensor is absolutely amazing. Wish i had known about them before all my other purchases or I would have bought everything from them. Highly suggest them.

Okay so I have to say that I am so far seriously impressed with Avast Marine Works. I just placed my an order for the Avast "You Build" MR5 Media Reactor Kit and it's due for delivery tomorrow! How freaking sweet is that!

I've owned one of their Swabbies. Definitely great equipment & customer service. I wouldn't hesitate buying from them again!

Arrival & Construction of my Avast "You Build" MR5 Media Reactor.

Arrival & Construction of my Avast "You Build" MR5 Media Reactor.

So I received my Avast Marine Works "You Build" MR5 Media Reactor. I am so impressed with the kit that I am going to buy about 3 more reactors and their Kalkwasser Stirrer! Construction was amazingly simple (the instructional video on the website was great). After about 15 minutes of construction the unit was completely assembled and is now sitting for the final curing stage. Ample tubing was included with the reactor as well as a valve for controlling the water flow. I honestly say that Avast Marine Works definitely has my business from this point forward. It is always nice to see the small things a company does to make the customer feel special. In my instructions was a small post it not which was hand written with a thank you from Justin regarding the purchase of the item. I wish all companies had that intimate touch with their clients.

I've got the media reactor. Had to mod mine a bit for use with biopellets after talking with Avast customer service. I cut the bottom off the tube below the lower bubble plate because it caused uneven flow. Build quality and materials of construction are way above what their price point is. Great product.

They seem to have some hard-to-find DIY equipment, at a very good price. Good people.

That I can definitely agree to. Plus there turn around time is amazing. I personally have been waiting to responses from other Acrylic Manufacturing Companies for over two weeks and I got my equipment from them in less then 24 hours!
