^^^^Sorta. I have Ecotech lights, return and powerhead pumps. I choose them to be able to control everything from one app. Also my controller system I choose to stick to one brand for simple operation through one app. As you can see I may have choose a specific brand I did it to make my life more simple.
I wanted interoperability on the products I selected.
I’m defiantly not a fanboy as I believe both those brands can go a long way to improve their products.
No big name brands in that listI use whatever is the best from my research. Also price vs quality conscious. I stay away from overpriced BIG name brand as much as i can. I use Orphek lights, gyres, Reef Octo Varios return, Vertex skimmer, GHL doser on my reef tank and have never thought about changing. I use ReefBreeders/T5 combo, gyres, RO Varios return and Vertex skimmer, BRS Doser on my Frag tank. I use Pacific Sun LED/T5 combo, gyres and OctoPulse pumps, Skimz Leopard return pump and Skimz skimmer on my 300 gallon FOWLR (couple softies and LPS in the tank as well). I do use a neptune apex classic on each of the three tanks though as well. I use Tropic Marin Pro reef salt on my reef and frag tanks and Live Aquaria Pro reef salt on my FOWLR (because it's cheap).
Haha! I meant overpriced big names. All my apex controllers were used otherwise I might switch to Coralvue's new controller. I was taking a slight dig at ecotech (as you can see I have zero of their products). My personally think they are way overpriced for what you get.No big name brands in that list
LOL, I am a big fan as well, from mop buckets to food storage, it's the good stuff. Reef gear has a lot of good stuff too. I think Neptune and Ecotech has the most Diehard followers.Rubbermaid

I pretty much think I’m already a member just by using their product and for me to stick with a product it just has to work and that would be Red Sea for me I use their products they work and easy to use so that’s what I stick with.Ok what do I mean by a "Brand Club Member?"
Not sure if this is still a thing but back in the earlier years we had threads (clubs) for different brands and products that were made up of brand loyal hobbyists. Some examples were the MRC Skimmer Club or the H&S Skimmer Club etc. Now the wording has transitioned to "owners." Like the Red Sea Max Owners and so forth. I was a member of some of those clubs! HA!
I was thinking yesterday about how people can be very loyal to a certain product or brand. Sometimes even to an unhealthy point! Maybe there is a connection with a person within a company, a nostalgic memory, knowledge about a certain product or more than anything trust in the brand. So lets talk about that today!
1. If there were a "club" for your favorite aquarium brand or product would you be a dedicated member?
2. What does it take to earn your business as a loyal customer?
3. What brand or product, if any, would you consider yourself loyal to?
