I have to warn everyone though that this is not a very good skimmer. The reason is that it is a closed loop skimmer with no water intake and water return outlet. Water from the tank enters and exits the skimmer box through a couple of small holes at the bottom of the skimmer via diffusion. The result is that the exchange of water between the skimmer and tank is very minimal. I've measured oxygen levels in my tank with this skimmer on and unlike other skimmers, this skimmer does not aerate the water in the tank at all (because the highly oxygenated water stays inside the skimmer box). But it is super quiet. haha. So if you don't believe me and think this is still an awesome skimmer, feel free to buy the skimmer from me at less than 35% of what I paid for it. It is in excellent condition with box and manual.  Used about a year and a half.
Local pickup for now. |
