fish-unit Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 No I know its an expensive hobby but its even more expensive if you keep loosing livestock, get a deltec, or maybe a reef octopus, But make sure if you get a RO you get one rated for two-three times the tank volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelifaxNZ Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 What size tank are you going to have? Deltec is a good product, but is very very expensive and there are alternative brands out there if you cannot afford a Deltec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 And it is near impossible to get Deltec stuff in Christchurch at the moment. I've been waiting literally months for the one I ordered to show up. And the distributor complains there's no money to be made? I'd seriously recommend you consider something else given to rediculously poor service you'll have to endure if you really want a Deltec. Either that, or buy second hand where warranty is irrelivant anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or buy second hand where warranty is irrelivant anyway. business and good communication go hand in hand 8) deltec and reef octopus seem to be the most common brands of skimmer used by hobbyists in nzl. if you really want a 2nd hand skimmer, keep an eye out on trademe, by the time you muck around with shipping costs etc you're not paying much more by buying locally. and as is mentioned above, dont skimp on a cheap skimmer you will be wasting your time.
