Looks like HYDROS did it again!

[chapter7]

Anyone else notice HYDROS prices are up 10%?

Good thing I got most of my stuff already, but I still need the WaveEngine and a bunch of cables! :(

Tariffs maybe

 

[John Neuzil]

You say that like Coralvue and Hydros are the only companies raising prices.

yeah

 

[Jamie814]

If you've followed the news prices are going up across the board. Pre-tariff inventories are mostly depleted across all consumer goods and most retailers are starting to raise prices of just about everything.

Uhhh, no, just an observation as I was shopping. Just thought I’d share. I’m heavily invested in HYDROS with one of the main reasons being their value proposition compared to Neptune. Plus, I love supporting the underdog. Hope these new prices don’t sway potential new customers away though.

Waterbox increased all their prices 10% on June 2, they even sent an email a few days before the increase to let people know that it was coming incase they were contemplating ordering something. But all brands will be increasing prices over the next few weeks.

I run a business, and my raw materials supplier just raised prices on us. Most likely will pass it on to the consumers once a new cost analysis is ran.

Yea, Innovative Marine did the same with an email announcement last month or so. Oddly enough, after they raised prices, 2-3 weeks later, the prices reverted back. The 150 INT Lagoon went from $3900 to $4700 but now back to $3900. Lotta uncertainty out there.

Everything has gone up 10% or more where I live. It’s hard to point one company out as the bad guy.

You can get the wave engine v2 refurbished on eBay for $236 and the wave engine le refurbished for $153

 

[fish_collector]

It's stupid. Prices of everything are going up just to follow the lead. The forum censor wouldn't let me post what I wanted to post

 

[reefteaser]

I’ve got a wave engine v1.0 and 2 gyre cables for xl250 looking for a new home.

It’s definitely swayed me from not buying anything from them again.

Granted, it's a pretty expensive hobby. As in, 'I can sell you anything you want for your tank, if it takes the LAST DIME you've got!' Lol!!

I'm severely over budget on this build! But it's so fun!!

So your thinking a company should just lose money instead of raising prices to keep the same level of income?

The 10% you are seeing is across many manufacturers and equipment. Its no different that rent increases, increase in cost of homes, cars and consumer goods in whole. A two hundred dollar item going up $20 and often with free shipping is not bad in my eyes

 

[Jason_MrFrags]

Just the annual price increase by CV.

Their stuff is way overpriced for what it is now. They raised their prices again. An XP8 is now 20% more than what it wa 6 months ago, along with everything else in their lineup. Why would anybody pay $330 for a single peristaltic pump when Neptune gives you TWO of them for only $20 more. If you wanted a hydros AWC system you’d have to pay 88% premium compared to what Neptune already has had for several years. Absolutely crazy.

They can’t even fix their 3D printed slop hydros IV to work properly, which only tests one parameter, but now want to release the maven that tests five??

Biggest slap to the face is boasting on social media about a 10% discount on refurbished controllers with only a 90 day warranty. Who in the right mind would pay that for used equipment? How out of touch is their management team?

CV release the icecap fp pumps and promises to release connectors for the wave engine. How does it take almost a whole year to release a cable to make their FP pumps work on the wave engine.

They’ve become the very thing they claimed to combat. They’re even worse now.
