joshman1204 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) I just hope their product is better than their grammar. Edited June 12, 2010 by joshman1204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaceyJ Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Grammar is bad, but the website is more than a dummy site. the only thing i do not like is the fact that contact info is hard to find. Also, if you order something, make sure you select the right voltage. the prices are cheap enough that i think it is worth trying.

Brooks Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Where did you hear about them? Did you check their reviews? There grammar is awful, which can be a tell tale sign of a fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaceyJ Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Not exactly brooks. the web site is 100% foreign, and that is an explanation for the grammar. They admittedly state import/export. and the products are offered in 220 and 110 volt (another sign of foreign operations) who is info: Updated Date: 11-nov-2009 Creation Date: 10-nov-2006 Expiration Date: 10-nov-2010 a quick search of other reef clubs shows people have had success purchasing from them Edited June 12, 2010 by KaceyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaceyJ Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The website is valid as far as i can tell, people order from them and receive the product they ordered. If i wanted a pair of nikes, and a chinese website offered the same pair $100 less, i would order from the chinese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 are these not the same skimmers? http://www.reefshops.com/bubble-magus-bm-nac6.html and http://premiumaquatics.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PA&Product_Code=BM-NAC6A&Category_Code=BubbleMagus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Their shipping is $64 to 78705 so its really not that good of a deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Well, here is my take on this. None of us like to pay the sometimes ridiculous prices we pay for reef stuff. However, if everyone started buying chinese (or whatever country) knockoffs, i.e. probably stolen and copied technology, then don't complain when companies like Euro-Reef, Deltec, Tunze, and others stop developing the better technologies because everyone opts to buy the cheap knockoffs and copied (read stolen) designs they have invested in developing.

Stephen +1. Curious you can select between 6 currencies, don't think I've noticed that option on the websites I shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I will almost guarantee this is Chinese. Which means it is either a fake if Bubble Magus( I have heard of Bubble King and Bubble Master) is a legit company, or a cheap knock-off. I agree with Stephan on this one.

barderer Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I bet most of the stuff we buy is made in China anyway. Anything that is not made with standard parts is almost certainly manufactured in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird123 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Reef Octo is a good choice but I would step-up to the model 150 and it is on sale right now w/free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
