I'm not really sure why it would be less dishonest for one Chinese firm to steal from another Chinese firm? It's still one group of people stealing from another.

I was under the impression there was a patent proceeding in progress. IF there's a patent infringement and they've stolen the design, it's theft; that doesn't seem complicated to me.

They can sell them for cheaper because they use ultra cheap labour, and stole the design so they don't have any research and development costs to recover. If the judge in the lawsuit finds them...

I'm sure it is, that's why I made a point of saying "if there's an alternative". Sometimes there's not, but when there is I'll put the Chinese product back on the shelf.

As mentioned, Chinese...

Haven't tried them, and no plans to do so. The original designs that they ripped off work very well. The Chinese can't make baby food that doesn't leak toxins so there's no way I would trust...

Hey, sorry I missed this.

To be honest I don't recall. It seems to me that there was a bracket that went between the volute assembly and the pump to support the needlewheel, I likely would've...

Still really happy with it. The air noise is still a little louder than I'd like, actually a lot louder than I'd like, but the pump is now dead silent. Pulling out lots of really nice, disgusting...

Lowered it by a couple of inches this morning and it seems to be a lot happier! It's now running a lot closer to that 7.5-8" recommended level.

The pump is now very quiet, the sound of the air...

So far so good, it's become a little more silent over the weekend. After following the break in procedures I put the cup on and started pulling skimmate out Friday night. It'll take some playing...

Yeah, seems all of them have smaller cups these days. I guess the good thing is that it'll force me to clean it more regularly.

As for the old skimmer, I think I'll try to figure out what it's...

Vertex Omega 150 review

Hi there,

In case you missed my previous couple of threads I had a blown impeller on my old Vertex In-180. This led me down the road to a new skimmer. Once I discovered the pump was likely...

The reef octopus does look sweet, a little out of my price range though. I'm really leaning towards the vertex omega if I decide to go for a skimmer vs a pump. Will sleep on it tonight and place an...
