i just bought a brand new one from J&L for 299$. i cannot WAIT to get this thing set up. ive set it up three times just to look at it (and it looks friggin saweeet!)

i was going to go for a tunze, but the thing was the same price as the Euro-reef, and while the tunzes are great for smaller tanks, i was told that they arent so great for larger tanks. so i spent the extra 4$ and got the Euro-reef RS100 (and then had to sneak my new gear past my girlfriend when i came home.)

her:"what's that?"
me:"oh...nothing..."
H:"really?...ive heard you say that before."
M:"yeah i know...but seriously...it's nothing."
H:"oh yeah?"
M:"yeah...it's just plastic...dont worry about it."

When I met my girlfriend I knew she was Miss Right.

What I didn't know was her 1st name was 'ALWAYS!'

Apparently euro reef wont be selling their RS series in Canada anymore, just RC, just a heads up.

Ya that's what I've been told too.

If that's true about the EuroReef RS series, that's gonna jack up the price for us! Eeek! Why on gods green earth would they do a stupid thing like that?

Jeff @ J & L told me the same thing. Was looking at the RS135

[Myka]

If Jeff said that, then I'm betting it's true. Eeek!

That ASM skimmer would be a great skimmer for you Glenn.

What's the justifcation to not sell the RS in Canada any longer?

Euroreef has abandoned its Canadian Distributor and is not supporting issues with skimmers from Canada.

I bought a rs180 from a Calgary dealer and when I opened it the skimmer lid was broken, the clear ring was cracked. Contacted LFS store and all was going to be taken care of. 3 months later was told no support was being offered and to contact ER myself. Send too many e-mails with no reply back. This has left more than a sour taste in my mouth.

Cheers!
