This was a rumor that seem to have been originated on the Premium Aquatics forum, but was since deleted. Here we go again.
I don't think so since the ATi Powermoduls are still coming in and the ATi T5 bulbs has been the most effective par along with UVL, and gaining popularity. As for warranty support, ReefGeek handles all that as they are the exclusive importer for ATi products. RG has had one of the best customer service and they're required to carry all replacement parts for the BM skimmers. |

I don't believe RG is exclusive...

How can this be with the ati brand. www.diyreef.com offers cheaper pricing than reefgeek for bulb's? I don't know if that is true import wise.

Is there something you know, or is this more of the same nonsense that PA retracted?
Seriously, thing's like this are pretty low, so unless you've got some facts and truth to contribute, I think the subject should be cleared up and left at that. |

[B]RG is the master dealer for ATi products in USA, all other dealers must buy from RG. I'm pretty sure this is incorrect, but ooookay... All that aside, ATI hasn't exactly proven itself to be remarkably reliable when it comes to filling product orders on the wholesale side. Mayhap this has something to do with the rumors?

Then you could say the same about RE/Bubblekings. They have problems filling orders world wide as well.  Matt/corn, I dont think this is true. There are some companys that would love for ATI to go under. ATI has been very professional about certain competitors trying to slander them in this way. This isnt the first time, and doubt it will be the last sad to say. Oliver from ATI has addressed this and said they were in the process of expanding and them going under could not be further from the truth. I believe this. Everything the guy has stated to me has been true thus far.

Are you feed on from rumors ?
and by the way it's not a stock market that you put there your saving...... if something happen always there is exchange.... when i saw that post i ask Mr' Oliver and he comment to that immediately , also Greg from Reef Geek told me personal that shipping from ATI in germany still come in... hope it will be more clearly from RG or ATI .

Just take it with a grain of salt, that why you see really little threads about things like this here.
When AGA aquarium was sold or when they brought oceanic i didn't even see one thread about that here. The business part of this hobby is rarely talk about on this forum, which i think is a really good thing. |

I believe Proline was bringing in ATI as a master distributor?
Maybe not anymore?

I havent heard a thing bad about ATI's business position. In the past, there have been problems, but nothing recent. Perhaps past information is getting recycled?
I know one thing though... US companies need to step up to the plate because pretty soon the conversion rate is goint to make imports from the EU too expensive to even bother with. Those new chinese made Sicce run bubble plate skimmers are aimed directly at ATI's bubblemasters, and look to be a better design at that. So I hope ATI has enough other products in its line to keep afloat (bulbs, and ramping up supply on those powermodules) or its going to be hard to compete.

Exactly, there bulb's are still the best par and colors imo, but there skimmers are about to get washed out with the new octo's with the bubble plate's and sicce's. Its going to kill the BM's.

did they ever announce a price for the octo extreme?
These EU companies are going to be in big trouble if the dollar keep falling. We already seen some BIG price increase from some of them. H&S and DAS have both had price increase in the last couple of months. H&S was more extreme and now most of their skimmers cost more than deltecs. That sure will push more people into deltec skimmers. |

Simply not true
USC-fan
The following statement is simply not true. There is only one skimmer in the H&S line that is at a higher price point than Deltec. Quote:

I dont see those as such a big deal because its still the same old crappy octo pump. But these... these are a different story...
http://www.marinesolutionsinc.com/ca...hp?cPath=22_48 Aimed directly at ATI, and, FWIW, I like the design better as well (no central pipe, no gate valve, etc.)
