I know. 40% off :surprise: Bubble magus just got blown away (momentarily). I should have looked into youtube in the morning!

Well Crap... Visa is going to love me.

Vertex 150 over Bubble magus curve cone 5? Would love some input before I take the plunge.

[gregzz4]

And my BastardCard is going to love me too
I have wanted a Vertex 150 for a long time
Hopefully someone local will be willing to do a close price match so I don't have to deal with shipping
I hate buying big stuff online only to find it's damaged etc

Thanks again for the heads up Raied :lol:

I wouldn't take a second look if the price is right
The Vertex is awesome with 900lph air intake
The curve 5 only has around 300

An equivalent to my Skimz 180 Kone was put head-to-head with the Vertex (SWC160, albeit a lower output skimmer than mine), and the Vertex kicked butt
I like the higher air volume of the Vertex (900lph) compared to my 350 something lph

I didn't want to spend the money on a replacement skimmer anytime soon, but I've been looking at the 150 and it looks like the time is right

Thanks Raied :lol:

Ack, my posts got reversed as I was typing info and researching
Whatever ....

I had been researching other skimmers not this one because it was well out of my price range.

Well I needed some other stuff too, shipping stayed the same even with the other things. Just maxed out my visa. Excellent!
I will loose my **** if it comes damaged, I have never placed an online order that didn't come with problems, fingers crossed!

BRS did a promo where if they got 2000 likes on Facebook they would knick $150 off those skimmers, hence the good price. Don't think they have too many so take the plunge sooner rather than later

Curve 7 is almost equivalent to vertex 130 in terms of air draw so you shouldn't be comparing 150 with curve 5 :lol::razz: Do keep in mind that vertex's foot prints are generally bigger than equivalent skimmers and their rating is generally for medium to heavy bioloads unlike most of the skimmers out there in the market.

Done and done loll....great price

[Chase31]

I ordered on yesterday. Excited for this!

[Werbo]

Curious. How much was shipping?

[Chase31]

To Edmonton $37

[Coasting]

we clearly should have coordinated this better and had like a mini group order to 1 lowermainland address so we could save on shipping lol

[-LMAO_]

I ordered mine to my p.o box. Its right next to the border. Ill go grab some cheap gas and my early xmas gift weooo :D. Shipping was ovbiously free then. So pumped

Haha I wish! (though I think gas in my truck would cost double what shipping way to get to the states) I'm not even going to be around for another month. I'm going to have to bribe somebody else to stop by and install it for me when it arrives! Every time I've ordered something American and had it shipped to a US address, I've had issues (Murphys law I guess) so I'm hoping this order goes off hitch free showing up in Canada.

I think the tank will appreciate going from a Coralife skimmer that stopped skimming to this thing :lol:

My uncle has one and he would pick it up and ship it to me for free. but its easyer for me this way. and comes faster in theory

[sweet ride]

was going to get one! all sold out!

[ImprezaSTi]

Was going to pick up the Omega 130. But BRS adds $30 tax (should be $10 for AB), plus $37 shipping, plus an exchange rate rip off by visa makes the total $90CAD more than retail price. Not so hot?
