Well... you must agree this is a very performance based segment of the industry... brands can come and go... and they often come back... just like cars... so for the moment it seems than ATI Bubble Master and Twister is in the spotlight... :lol::lol::lol:

Just like another brand start with "A"... they are extremely powerful and popular a couple of years back... then taken over by a "D" company due to lack of innovation... it's a natural cycle... but moving production to China is definitely a wrong business decision to me... so that particular brand is doomed forever (IMO) :lol::lol::lol:

haha. . dun put until so obvious mahz. . :lol::lol: "A" still got their own supporters. .

Anyway if its proven to be as good as the BK and selling at 1/3 of the price, i guess its a blessing for fellow reefers. :)

:rolleyes: I understand from the thread that they will be replacing the Eheim pump with their own pump (ATI), a new generation of pumps without bearings. Basically, the impeller "floats" inside magnetic field and the thin film of water surrounds it. This way the pump should be much quieter and makes much less friction inisde. Thus, the pump is more energy efficient.

Wow, the advent of a revolutionary technology ! ;)

Extracted from German forum:

Hello,

here a few pictures of the ATI A1500 thread wheel pump with approx. 11W power input. Much more does not give to say it actually to it. It will cost to the final customer€ 99 and runs approximately noiseless. The long silicone hose serves at the same time the uncoupling. Otherwise olive already said everything to it.

Greeting

JoergB

ATI Coworker

This pump is so new... they only announced it 2 weeks ago!!! Confirmed the Twister M I saw at AquaMarin the other day (my set) comes with this new ATI A1500 pump... amazing!!! 11W only leh... that is... $1.50/month of electricity running 24/7 :lol::lol::lol:

Hi Jervis:

If you do happen to be the LFS again.

Maybe you could take a look at the air-intake guage?

Read from the German forum listed here (earlier thread) that due to the new propeller wheel, foreign deposit could form hence reducing the amount of air-intake.

The function of the guage there is also to indicate that the propeller need cleaning when air input drops. Just don't know how soon maintainance is needed compare to traditional needle wheel.

Thanks.

Ok I will try to shoot again but it's kinda hard to shoot lower as that area is kinda cramp and I do not want to get my camera wet by extending it too near the splashing water... will try nevertheless.

DE, very nice BK... I heard you are carrying BK skimmers right? If I am not happy with this ATI skimmer, I will come look for you :lol:

Acidjazz, as mentioned, the bubble portion is being covered by the sump wall, I will find a way to shoot it, or maybe wait for my Twister lor :lol: You comparing it with your Beckett or Shuran? This guy only been running for days... let it settle lah :)

Jervis, do you know the price of this skimmer already?

Hi BFG

As replied to so many PMs these few days... AM bundled this skimmer together with a long list of equipments including the tank + sump + cabinet... so it's not fair for me (and AM) to just quote you a figure... they will announce price very soon (i heard)... I hope you understand my position :bow::bow::bow:
