That is really cool but man that price is crazy. I would love to have a couple but not for that kind of $$$.

Personally on that product I would wait about one year before investing. Vortex has kind of a bad reputaion for defective products. For that price also I would just get a tunze stream.

I just need to figure out how to build my own for, say $30. Something to ponder.

Ah so they finally hit the market.... at $350 a pop? Nutjobs... for that price I can get 4 Seio 2600's! Though it's a cool idea, but then again thing about how limited you would be... all flow would have to be perpendicular to a glass surface...not always the best option IMO, least of all the outside of your tank will have 'warts'!

thats cool Tyler, let them be the ones to figure out all the bugs and then when the price drops dramaticly ... we can swoop in and get some. and i have to agree with Dave, flow would have to be a straight shot and thats not always the greatest idea.

Wholesale on them does suck, and you have to buy 12 at a time wholesale if I remember correctly.
