external smalls

[chadfarmer]

well I am running a kz cone and want an external skimmer again is there going to be a external small


I will run this on a 160 gallon system

[victor90]

rishma has been asking the same question
I will ask anton

[whosinpower]

Who is interested in this possibility.:lol:

[victor90]

Actually theres is 5 people wanting atb small externals I have asked Anton to make it. i will keep you guys informed

[GSMguy]

how cool is that? ask and ye shall receive.

[rishma]

Correction....I have been whining and begging.....not asking :lol:

[victor90]

Rishma if Anton makes you'll be first

[victor90]

Anton is going to make the small external

[rishma]

GREAT! We cannot wait.

is he going to stop with the small or do the Nano too?

[victor90]

Only the small no nano

[rishma]

that seems sensible. The time and effort required would not be worth the small market for a nano external.

The small external (on the other hand) will sell like hot cakes, I think.

[GSMguy]

small external is going to be high volume just like the external medium airstar.

[kalare]

Any dimensions and price for the small external?

Agreed. I think the external small is going to bring quite a few new members into the club.

[rishma]

Yep, I have been telling Victor all along that it will be a top seller. that size tank dominates the high end market in terms of #'s. The best selling H&S are A150 and A200, for example.

[chadfarmer]

i would want a white one, also

[victor90]

Chad there is one problem though they do not make the tee in white for 32mm so it will be grey

[Jim_S]

Victor, sounds like your getting a lot of response on these!! Thats great!!

How many do you plan on bringing in? Sounds like they're gonna be really popular :D

I agree 100% with rishma. The A150 and A200 are hot sellers. The ATB small external will also attract many of the same crowd :)

[moondoggy4]

Yeah I in the 150 crowd I have the money saved for the HS 150 internal I'm not sure if I can hold out much longer. It would take a little longer to save up for the ATB small internal darn Euro

[chewie]

Did someone say small external?

[GQuinn]

This isn't an external small, but it is a internal recirc. This still sits in my sump, but I get the advantage of the recirc. I just did this, so I will post some pictures of it running in a couple of days.http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/86023ATB_recirc_2-med.jpg

[GQuinn]

Sorry, double post.

Gary

[GQuinn]

I can live with that


what is the prices of the recirculating skimmers?

I might just go with a medium

[victor90]

Chad its a diy mod please ask GQuin on how to do it

I could do that-- but prefer a recirculated that is not any part of DIY project

for a 120g i think a small external will be more than enough the airstar medium might be overkill.

[victor90]

Nick is right

[chadfarmer]

GQuinn

No, mine could not be run outside the sump as the water return from skimmer is low like the std. small ATB skimmers.

Gary

[victor90]

[GQuinn]

Here is a picture from today. I cleaned it Saturday, so this is two days worth.

I can't wait for this to become available. I've been waiting for a high end external recirc skimmer to replace my external Octopus. It's been hard finding one with a small footprint, but I'm hoping this fits the bill or more specifically, in the stand. :)

[Jim_S]

I think the small will be very popular.

It may take a little while, but you can't rush excellence :D

[mouscacha]

True that!!!

[prodman]

Is there any estimate as to how long before they are available?

[victor90]

I will see if I can get another one for the shipment in two weeks Do you have a color preference a red or white one
Thanks

[chadfarmer]

[victor90]

Chad,

The shipment has already left austria

[Jim_S]

:D

That means by next week we'll all be playing with some new toys!

[chadfarmer]

is it in customs?

[Jim_S]

The shipments seem to take 2-3 days to arrive, then spend a day in customs. I think Victor told me they went out Tues or Wed the last time we spoke.

[victor90]

It is scheduled to land in the us on sat. Then customs will take a few days staring monday.

[orientalexpress]

[ed4]

That's cool and thank you!

What's the lead time for you to get one in stock, assuming that when I'm ready to order that it's out of stock?

[ed4]

In addition, I'd love to see pictures of the External Small please :)

[victor90]
