Jamo Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi bros, I try to search for a cheaper aquatronica online at US online store, indeed very much cheaper than in Singapore based on the current US currency exchange rate. The problem is they only carry the 110v version although the controller is also 230v compatible. Meaning that they only comes with 110v power unit. The rest I think are the same. I was thinking of buying the controller and the interface and probes, and get the power unit locally. Do you guys think this might work?

SRC Member LittleBurger Posted December 22, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks bro, never think of that, i will compare prices and see. Go this site www.sewatec.de. Based in Germany. Quite reputable. U need to consider the 7% GST if item above $400. Quote Tank size:36"x36"x24" Return pump" 2x Reef Octo 5000 Skimmer:BK Double Cone 200 on Reef Octopus DC 5500s.

Jamo Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yes bro, found that site, but they dun carry aquatronica. But found red dragon pump really cheap. If we order we will have 17% off because of the Germany tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaiqiu Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yes bro, found that site, but they dun carry aquatronica. But found red dragon pump really cheap. If we order we will have 17% off because of the Germany tax. Brought up this post. Will be going to Germany next week. Wonder whether it is cheaper buy from there (via sewatec to hotel), with the 19% VAT or ship to SG (minus 19% VAT but includes 7% GST).... Thinking of buying a RD pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnsfpl Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 correct me if i am wrong VAT is app 11% as global blue will profit a potion btw remember to grab some zwilling product in germany cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameshong Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just wonder how much saving you benefit after deducted off the shipping, GST..etc? If less than 20%, imho, not really worth doing it.. as you have consider the support service and warranty issue coverage . Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

Hi Jamo, If I'm not wrong… regardless of whether the goods were purchased overseas online or hand carry in to Singapore with the amount above 400 still need to pay 7% GST be it for personal or commercial use leh !
