Searching for a Aquamaxx hob 1

[Tom19073]

I have searched just about everywhere and have not found anywhere that has one in stock. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Enjoy!

Thanks for looking. I already bid on that but in the event I lose the bid I have found nowhere that will have one for atleast 2-3 weeks. I guess I should just go all in on my bid.

Don't get to carried away. ;) I'm in the same boat as you. 2-3 weeks isn't going to make much difference. Just do a few extra WC.

Lost the auction on ebay. I wasn't paying more for the damn thing than what It would cost me to get it in a couple weeks when its back in stock. Im not really sure why such a popular skimmer would be out of stock? It seems like hardly any lfs's carry the brand for some reason.

Did you try Marine Depot?

I had one on order from marine depot and they said it is backordered for 4-6 weeks.

Finally found one. In case anyone else is still searching.

Tom, did you call and they verified they have them in stock? I too have been waiting on Marine Depot. I just talked to them on Wednesday and they told me expected dated was the 25th of this month. But if I can get it earlier I may order from tbaquatics.

Keep in mind that the JNS VS-1 skimmer is the exact same skimmer made in the same factory. The only thing that's different about it is the sticker on it. I had a hard time finding the Aquamaxx and when I emailed a retailer he told me about the JNS skimmer. This was a while back but I was able to find a handful of retailers with the JNS in stock. Just a suggestion for folks who are having a hard time finding an Aquamaxx which seems to be backordered fairly often.

This is still out of stock everywhere. Anyone have any insight?

I just installed a JNS which is the same skimmer with a few better mods if you ask me. collection cup is easier to adjust with a set screw and the shape of the neck offers the ability to control the foam head form wet to super dry if you wish. I painted my body black with Krylon Fusion paint.

Just set my JNS VS 1 up and the micro bubbles are insane. No chemicals or anything....should bubbles subsist in a few days? Never seen so many micro bubbles in a tank before!

Just installed my HOB-1 on my biocube.. bubbles.. too many bubbles. The thing overflows within the first 30 seconds turning it on. Found a little help here:

Hopefully will help with the micro bubble problem as well.

No overflowing for me and bubbles have settled down quite a bit. Still way too many but it's only day 2. Pulling some gunk but very watery
