I emailed him the other day about an EX-2 and he said he had one in stock.

Once again for the newcomers

Pet-o-rama online is DAS. They get them first because they have them made. ORCA gets them from DAS.

When you guys say the EX-1 overflows do you mean the cup just fills up with water, or it actually flows out the cap?

saltydragon · #**181** 01/01/2008, 09:00 PM

anyone ordered from petorama recently.....looks like ground shipping is free

db_triggerfish · #**182** 01/02/2008, 12:15 AM

looks like Free UPS Ground Shipping on orders placed before December 25, 2007 so looks like it is over.

It is the holidays and DAS / Pet-o-rama doesnt win any awards for speedy customer service in the first place. No surprise that they havent replied to you yet. But you are definitley being smart checking on stock before ordering. I wouldnt order without first getting a reply confirming stock, either. They will reply, eventually.

try msmid@petorama.net

burton14e7 · #**186** 01/02/2008, 10:30 PM

They only responded to my emails when I had an actual issue. If I asked a general question, no response. When I had to change the shipping address(had wrong apartment #) and when my pump was faulty I was responded to quickly.

kdblove_99 · #**187** 01/02/2008, 11:00 PM

I have actually had good luck with them.

I doubt Orca will get it out to you an faster unless they have them in stock

KEstep · #**188** 01/03/2008, 11:11 AM

DAS is out of the office and warehouse for two weeks. They always take 2 to 4 weeks off at XMas time

saltydragon · #**189** 01/03/2008, 12:28 PM

well...at least orca replied back....they dont have it in stock..also told me DAS i closed for a few more days......but good know someone is working.....

aeroaustin · #**190** 01/03/2008, 11:19 PM

Hey should I get Das Ex-1 for my 75 gallon Tank. will sufficent for this ttank, that will be full sps? I just acquited 110 gallon from my club. When Sps are grown well then transfer to 110 for short term.

best bet to buy Das EX-1 or extreme 160?

USC-fan · #**191** 01/03/2008, 11:40 PM

Extreme 160 and ex-1 will perform about the same. I like recirc skimmer myself but if you set up your sump for a x160 it can work really well also.

Extreme 160 is a new skimmer design and the EX-1 is a proven design. Maybe wait for some reviews on the new skimmer to see how well it wil perform.

jman77 · #**192** 01/07/2008, 12:23 AM

Well, I miscalculated my stand height and i cant fit the DAS BX-2 skimmer in the stand

Man that sucks. Look like it was working well for you.

saltydragon · #**195** 01/07/2008, 01:28 AM

i might be picking up a used ex-1....if i needed to get new return plumbing for the output...do i need sch.80 or will regular sch.40 work?

i am using sch 40 in the output, reason the day i set it up the i could not find the sch 80 output pipe that came with it.

DiazE · #**197** 01/07/2008, 10:33 AM

Are you selling the one pictured because that is not a DAS BX-2 it's an EX-2. I'll trade you for a Deltec MCE600 10 months old.

jman77 · #**198** 01/07/2008, 11:06 AM

Sorry guys, as DiazE pointed out , it's a EX-2 .

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in a MCE600

DiazE · #**199** 01/07/2008, 11:09 AM

No problem, but if the misses didn't have my SW budget on lock down I would have Paypaled you for it right now!

Good luck; you should sell it fast!

Just curious, how tall is the skimmer and what size tank were you going to use it on?
