    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.
    Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

    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'!
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    That price is insane!
    If you go through a whole day without learning something new, you wasted it.

    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.
