Reeflo/Sequence Skimmer Club

[reefyguy]

first of all I have been out watching the cowboys packers game and I may have allegedlly had too many newcastles, crown shots, and unfortunately some random girl I was being nice to called me when my wife picked me up to drive me home.
Second of all Woodwrangler, Ed Hocules can rot in hell. The guy is obviously on steroids. I think he is the worst nfl ref ever.
46finga, I hope your buddies skimmer sells. But usually reef equipment doesent sell well on ebay and especially ones that dont carry a brand name. Lastly, (I use that every once in awhile to **** of my college english 201 professor) I don't mean to be a dick but I would have to have some balls to sell that skimmer for 1100.00. Lets call a spade a spade. In business 101 I always was under the impression that when knocking off competitors that have a firm grip on the market that you undercut in price and build marketshare by keeping low overhead while selling similar produts and build value by showing a cost benefit of purchasing a product of equal or greater value. Now although that is a run-on sentence is certainly holds water in any business environment. My suggestion is is to sell those things for 350.00 and hope that enough people buy it to warrant an increase of price. In today's market (all markets) you have to earn greed.......

With that I am going to shut off my cell phone and spoon my wife.....maybe...if she lets me......

gnight

LOL,well said my man. If these skimmers could be built for $350 Im sure the price would be lower on these.Of course its always hard to compete with a product mass produced out of the country,no matter what it is. Oh well, so any information on these Gold Series Dart pumps?

 

[JRaquatics]

The Golod series pumps are like a dart on steriods. They will be used on the Larger Reeflo skimmer.

ReefyGuy: one too many Pepsis huh?

Any DIYer knows acrylic tubing is not cheap. Tools to do good acrylic work is not cheap. Lets face it stuff made here in the states is not cheap, and that is why everything these days are outsourced to other countries to lower the cost to the consumer to compete with competitors prices. If the reeflo body was made in the US it would cost a whole lot more and wouldn't be as popular as it is.

Any one have any updates on their reeflo skimmers?

 

[reefyguy]

Yes. Way too many pepsi's. I did wake up and go to the gym this morning. Before I did I was going to erase the post. This is what I get.

Wow, your intelligence is really showing. What's with the personal attacks on someone you don't know, and whom you know nothing about? I'll be sure to let him know how you feel about him. At least figure out how to spell his name, it's in my signature for god sakes, you CHILD!

Why doesn't the discussion of these Mako skimmers move over to the Mako Thread

For a 180g or 220 mixed reef - would the larger or smaller dart be better for me??

How tall is the larger one??

Thanks!

 

[reefyguy]

not so much the lack of intelligence as it was too much to drink. I actually consider myself an intelligent person which obviously was questionable due to intoxicants. Actually, I was out with a division one basketball ref last night and his name came up. It was quite funny to me when I saw your signature. Ed "Hochuli" has not been very good to my colts in the past. Perhaps Rotting in perdition may have been a little much. With that I offer a formal apology to the Hochuli family and friends. However, if the guy doesent start calling more pass interference calls against opposing teams I will from now on let you know about it.:rollface:

The Reeflo 200 would suit you better. A 250 would be overkill IMO.
I think the height of the 250 was 30" stock.

 

[reefyguy]

right at 29 inches. I will have a 250 on my 150 display, 220 system. I plan to have a 300 display 500 system in 2 years when I move.

ok, I just got the spec sheet of the ReefFlow Gold series of pumps. I'm not sure I can post it but basically we're looking at 3,600gph. It's in between the current Dart and the Super.

It also uses a different motor... if I'm reading this right, it looks like it's a Baldor motor. That's good right?

Yea....might want to stay away from the keyboard and RC the next time you have too many beverages of that type. Posts like your previous are what get people banned.

ok, I just got the spec sheet of the ReefFlow Gold series of pumps. I'm not sure I can post it but basically we're looking at 3,800gph with 13' head. It's in between the current Dart and the Super.

It also uses a different motor... if I'm reading this right, it looks like it's a Baldor motor. That's good right?

I think it's 2008 release... not sure when.

Would this be considered a first-gen motor? is it good to get first get of these things or do they just do slight mods on aquarium pumps and we shouldn't worry about first gen?

I didnt think what I said was way over the top. Perhaps maybe lacking taste but I dont think potentially bannable.

They have banned people for less.
Lets just get the thread back on topic this way no one gets banned and we all stay happy reefers.

Lets see some skimmate pics?
Who's lined up to get a reeflo 200 skimmer?

If its the Baldor Motor,then Ill probably buy one for my NW skimmer. I have the Hubbell motor now,and from what I understand they are not Servicable.

We're getting a little off topic here, aren't we? Am I not in the Reeflo/Sequence Skimmer Club thread?

46bfinGA start a new thread to promote the sale of your buddies knock off skimmer. -thanks

Case in point , Do you not have anything constructive to add to the thread or just feel like posting to show your character?

 

[46bfinGA]

Sorry about the Rant,after looking at my last 2 post it seems like they may have been just as pointless/childish as WoodWrangler's. I apologize for steering this thread even further off course.Have a good weekend guys
