Skimmers - Reef Octopus and Vertex

[tripsandfalls]

I'm thinking about going skimmerless, so I thought I'd throw these up for sale to see if anyone's interested;

I have a gen 1 Reef Octopus DNWB-110 that I've been using for the past year. It works great. It's like this skimmer right here:

Except that it doesn't have the gate valve on the outflow (because it's gen 1). I controlled the water height in the neck by using my own outflow plumbing, and putting it a little higher. I controlled dwell time with the feed pump. I have the original plumbing too, so if you want to control the height with the original plumbing (http://coralvue.com/wp-content/uploa...structions.pdf), that's an option. Incorporating a gate valve is also an easy mod. Here's the skimmer in action;



Priced for quick sale: $100


I also have the body for a Vertex IN-100 (http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...3&child=VX1115) for sale. I bought this as a whole (and supposedly functioning) skimmer from a member on here, only to find out the pump was seized. Buyer beware I guess. I'll let the body go for $30. All you need to make it work is a pump. J&L has new ones for 75 bucks:
