Several announcements...

Turbo's Aquatics · Feb 21, 2022

~~A couple of~~ Several announcements:

1) Current Algae Scrubbers:

We have a long list of people who have been VERY patiently waiting for a Rev 4 "Ding & Dent" scrubber. We currently have 10 L4s and 20 L2 in the build process and these will be ready to ship by the end of next week. I'll be contacting you if you are on my waitlist!

2) Next Version: Rev 5

This is still moving forward, but issues with the new LED board design are still causing the final design to drag behind. We're estimating 3-6 months until release.

3) CWT Aquatics merger (absorption)

Some may not be aware, but I was also part-owner of CWT Aquatics - sumps built around Algae Scrubbers (both mine and Clear Water Scrubbers). As of last year, I'm 100% owner (mutual/amicable buyout) and on 12/31/21, CWT Aquatics was officially merged into Turbo's Aquatics.

4) CWT Products

Sump and ATO pricing structure was revised and retail pricing has been updated on www.saltwateraquarium.com and www.bulkreefsupply.com.

5) CWT "Blemished" Blowout Discount

We have a whole corner of my workshop dedicated to housing "Blemished" sumps and ATOs that we've been collecting for the last few years. I'm blowing these out at 10-15-20% discounts via SWA here: https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/.../factory-refurbished/

6) Wholesale Accounts

Wholesale sump and ATO pricing (and eventually, Rev 5 Algae Scrubber pricing) is available directly from us for both new and blemished products; we now sell directly to stores at the same wholesale price as online retailers. Contact me for details and pricing.

7) Sump & Scrubber Combo deals are no longer available via SWA or BRS. We plan on bringing this back soon under a direct-sale section of our website.

8) New products are in the brain, rolling around...but first things first! Scrubber Production

2022 is shaping up to be a busy year!

Best,
Bud

I once had an argument/discussion with somebody over the use of the term; "a couple", as that "had to mean only 2." In this instance it meant 8, (But I agree that you had a couple of things on the front of your mine, and a couple more right behind that, etc.)

I wanted to thank you for posting. I picked up some items from the sale, including a scratch and dent reservoir to replace the bucket I currently am using.

Like I will tell my wife when she sees the charge; "I bought a couple of things that were on sale."

Also just picked up a blemish 10 gal ATO, cheers! Looking forward to upgrading from the 10g aquarium I've been using!

The correct response is "I couldn't afford not to buy it" ;Smuggrin

Don’t feel bad. There is no exact definition of those terms when comes to quantity just general usage.

from below:

“Verdict: couple is used of small numbers most of the time, but usually at least two or more.”
