Really appreciate all the input people added to this. I thought I had researched overflow companies but it seems there are way more than I thought. I wonder why BRS only carries synergy and eshoops. Regardless, thanks everyone.
BRS carries what they say to be reliable top end products. I think that is purely subjective. You should definitely listen to the community such as this one because if you have a bunch of people going against a product that is being sold by BRS or any other vendor they are more than likely speaking from experience. Not to say anything against BRS because i love that vendor. They are reputable and their customer service is superlative. I think companies such as Synergy mean well and in their eyes they have produced a wonderful product. When you are in the business of serving people you will not be able to please everyone. I am quite sure for every person that has had a bad experience with Synergy there is someone who can attest that they do make a great product. I can't say what they make is good or bad I am just going of of what I have read. It is also unfortunate because I probably won't purchase my overflow from them because of all the negative hype I have read on the threads. Once thing we can definitely say is that when we read the threads with the complaints Synergy was there trying to support their product. That lets me know they believe in their product. It is also unfortunate that when we hobbyist spend money on products we tend to get upset if we don't get the desired output we were expecting and then we develop attitudes. This is jut my two cents. I hate to see people get bashed because Synergy seems like they have a decent product and they do communicate. I have the notion to just purchase an overflow from them so that I can have my own personal experience and judge it off of that. I might be successful. I doubt i will I am still deciding a lot of gear for my 300 gallon. I am still in the planning stages. I will keep you updated. Thanks for reading.
