Hi Guys,

just thought I'd share with you a new product that is on kickstarter, well, it's not really a new product - but a nifty idea. They are super high quality hand towels that have a magnet built in to them to make it easy to hang them anywhere.

I couldn't help but think that they would be very handy around our tanks. I'm going to mount one on the backside of my tank so that it isn't visible, but is always within reach.

If many are interested, I could probably up my pledge level to get a bulk amount in and split the shipping?

Anyway - check them out here:

I've backed these guys before on another project and was very happy with how well it turned out, so it is a very safe bet.

Anyway - just a heads up for anyone interested!
Sam

I figured they would be pricey and a gimmick ... but at $6 each including 'dot' they are decent value! Put me down for a couple :)

significantly cheaper than a Tunze towl, probably better quality and magnetic to boot!

I've asked the creator on the possibilities of combining a group buy to one shipping address. Will keep you posted.

Didn't realise Tunze sold a towel! Crazy. EUR11 according to their direct shop.

Yep plus australia tax! Besides, that one just has a metal band that sticks to your powerheads. This one you can hide anywhere :D

Put me down for 10! Great product!

 

[Str8edge]

If you are getting them at $6 each mate put me down for 3, one for each side of the tank and one for sump.. :)

 

[Sam Parker]

Alright no worries, I'll contact them and see what price they can do. At this stage, I'll grab 30?

$6ea might be tough when you pay shipping and convert to $AUD but $8-$10 can be done at least.

 

[Str8edge]

Still fine mate what ever it costs it costs just let me know when you are ready to order..

 

[Sam Parker]

Have upped my pledge to thirty, they'll come in under $10ea, will try for better :)

I'm all for kickstarter type things, but isn't this just a towel with an attached magnet :confused: Who would have believed that you could actually get a patent for something like this....

Sure is mate, don't think they are trying to say its anything more! Sometimes simple solutions are what the market wants :)

 

[BlueBolts]

I'll be keen for 5

 

[Felicity goodall]

Hey @samparker I'll take one

 

[Oak Park-VIC]

@Sam Parker im interested in up to 10.. Prefer whites/blacks/reds/blues mixture of colours- no pinks plse.

 

[Sam Parker]

No worries guys - I've lifted the order to 40 and have let the creator know we may need to go to 50 yet!

The more we get, they cheaper it will be! (to an extent anyway)

 

[rockerpeller]

I'll take a couple @Sam Parker

 

[MagicJ]

Maybe you can get a special order made with the Reefuge logo on the towel :)
