When will FMM be delivered?

Stolireef · 03/02/2017, 10:56 AM

Anyone know when this will be delivered? I'm in the middle of a new build and I'd love to go this route rather than an Osmolator but not if I'm going to be waiting months for it.

I ordered my fmk plus an extra 1" sensor a few days ago, I asked BRS for a rough estimate, but the guy I talked to didn't have any info.

ca1ore · 03/02/2017, 01:59 PM

Aquacave claims to have them in stock. I also bought mine as a pre-order from BRS, so hopefully not too long.

pwfletcher · 03/06/2017, 02:35 PM

I ordered the FMM module (module alone is only $99), a PMUP, and the optical sensor on Thursday from saltwateraquarium.com ... it just arrived ;-) Building an ATO ... wish that I had the NS Magnetic ATO plate.

Grabbed another 1" flow sensor from Marinedepot since BRS was sold out, it already shipped and I'll have it tomorrow.

Still haven't heard from BRS about the main kit.

FullBoreReefer · 03/09/2017, 03:40 PM

Got an email from BRS today, stated they already shipped out the first shipment of preorders(FMK's). They are waiting for their next shipment to arrive to send out the rest of the preorders. And it was based on first come first serve.

Guess that means I wasn't in the first "shipment " lol.

They did say their hoping their next arrival is this week yet...

ca1ore · 03/10/2017, 10:14 AM

BRS does seem a bit behind the curve on this. No notice for me either so not in the first wave of preorders apparently.

Right, I ordered my extra 1" sensor from MD two days after the FMK at BRS, my extra sensor was here on Wednesday(3/8/17).

ca1ore · 03/11/2017, 04:32 PM

Have it on good authority that pre-orders exceeded expectations and that BRS was most affected. Apparently the next shipment to them is 2-3 weeks out. Vaguely annoying that BRS has charged my card already.

FullBoreReefer · 03/11/2017, 07:17 PM

Wow, "Eric" told me they were hoping their next shipment was this week yet, not 2-3wks. How annoying.

ca1ore · 03/12/2017, 09:21 AM

These things are always in flux, so maybe BRS guy is correct. I certainly hope so. Preorders that 'linger' too much tend to get cancelled. Particularly since I've managed to run reef tanks for almost three decades without flow monitoring

I think the real problem here is that Neptune (who I really do have much love for) have sold the rest of the FMM environment before they were ready to release the 'heart'. So you have the DOS, and the flow monitors but the thing that pulls it all together (the FMM) isn't available.

ca1ore · 03/12/2017, 09:37 PM

My LFS has the FMK in stock .... same price as online. How 'bout that.

hof?

ca1ore · 03/13/2017, 11:17 AM

Yes, HoF! Cancelled my online order and bought it the old fashioned way.

FullBoreReefer · 03/17/2017, 11:51 AM

Called up BRS 5mins ago to check my order. Now I was told due to Neptune not keeping up with demand BRS won't have a shipment until April 4th, WHAT! They blamed Neptune, I kind of chuckled and said Marine Depot shows they have two in stock. Silence; then he offered to cancel my order, which I agreed.

Called up Marine Depot, they confirmed they had two in stock in their east coast warehouse...I placed my order!

Amen to that. HoF has the best stuff period. Never a bad time.

Got mine a week ago from saltwateraquarium.com

marinereef01 · 04/03/2017, 01:40 PM

Anyone know of any places that have the FMK in stock?
