OMG, I admit, I am totally blown away by this unit.

It has standard features that are usually only found on the top of the line Eheim units.

On the Intake, it has a priming cap, with a self locking collar to secure the intake hose.

ALSO, attached to the inlet elbow is an optional SURFACE SKIMMER with a self levelling device which is built into the extension pipe.

The main body of the unit also has a large self priming device (same as Eheim pro canisters).

I should also thank George & Michella at SLS for getting this in.

Whats the recommened retail price of these unit's?

[Proteus]

I am lead to believe it will be somewhere in the vicinity of $500-$700.

(sorry for the huge range in price, I dont have access to the price lists atm).

I am also reliably lead to believe that the units themselves come from the same factory in China that produce the Eheim canisters...

RRP on this unit is $605.00

As an introductory special, for forum members only $450.00

Looks fantastic. Do they have smaller models. Like 1200lph
