New pump available :)

I wonder how these work, review should be in tomorrow (not by me but in the lighting, equipment forum). For the price looks pretty good, and they have magnet holders. Just passing the info

I've been reading up on it and it does seem neat. Only bad thing is it isn't controllable but the 50 dollar price is nice.

 

[cristhiam]

Yeah! jay24k, how do you like the vortec, the more I look at it the more I want it plus they are giving to all owner a free controler until the wireless upgrade is available.

looks to be their competition with tunze's overpriced pumps. Definitely great prices, might have to look into this one for my next pump...

 

[jay24k]

whose giving a free controller away? I didn't get one on mine.

 

[jay24k]

I love my vortech. Wish it didn't cost that much but it is nice. It has the basic manual controller but it doesn't pulse or anything like that. Is there a different one they are giving out till wireless is out?

 

[ryanhayes96]

yeaah i was thinking about a few

I guess is free with the $50 upgrade. See this thread from IceCap
One good thing about IceCap is their excellent customer support

the only thing i like about my tunze nanos is thier service forum.
i used a chemical to clean my tunze osmolator and it ruined the sensor.
this voided the warranty.. however for 30 shipped he sent me out a brand new brain and sensor . they were fast about it too. a new osmolator is $170 .
chances are you may never have problems with the pump.
i am curious on the magnet suction cup idea. just how strong is the magnet as well?
