Wanted SM100

[las]

I really wanted to purchase a SM 100... I was gonna purchase one a few months ago but figured id wait til after new year cuz of money constraints. Are they not available anymore or is there a new version that is 50% more expensive without any changes to the unit?

Not available now.

After the plans are posted for the new version, if people still want the SM100 for $999 + shipping, then I'll make some more. But there was no profit at $649.

But you probably have the parts already for the new version. Might take 30 minutes to make it.

When is the new version going to be shown?

[SantaMonica]

Probably two months.

any idea of dimensions? i am working space limited and budget limited....this sounds interesting!! $649 or $999 is way beyond my hobby allowance!

You can build one of the old types for under 50 bucks if you have the pump and a sump area to put it in. Get the dimensions of the old type build here. http://algaescrubber.net/forums/showthread.php?1419-New-sizing-guidelines

But if the new one will be better, even $50 is too much since it will be useless in a couple months. :)

There is no way it will be useless. This new one will be easier to make fit onto the top of a smaller tank. If a tool gets the job done its still valuable if it works. When they come out with a new year model car I do not consider my out dated model useless, it may not be as nice or have fancier features but, it still serves its function. I am sure the new technology is going to be better but it will not render the working older units useless. I am also sure that some people that are struggling with a scrubber might find the new info a huge benefit and surely they might scrap anything they are having problems with and go new type.

I am developing one around the e-shine 50W LED grow bar. Yeah it'll be the old (current) style but I plan on building the new version around the same fixture so all will not be lost.

No pricing set up yet though. Stay tuned to the DIY reseller forum though.
