LF Large Internal Skimmer 300g+

Hi folks,

I’m just wondering if anyone has any bigger skimmers rated for a 300g tank. I would still like an internal Skimmer to be in sump. Just seeing if anything is out there before I purchase new. Let me know what you have and a price. Thanks.

I have a Vertex Alpha 250 all boxed up and ready to ship. The original Red Dragon pump died so this one comes with a Reef Octopus DC-5500S controllable needlewheel pump with only 3 months use on it.

I'd post pics but not sure what everyone is using now that photobucket no longer allows 3rd party hosting.

Asking $600

Can you post some photos? I use tinypic as of right now to upload.

Anyone else have anything? Can anyone recommend a good Skimmer for this size of tanks that would be good. My icecap k160 is awesome but they don’t make a large version.

I've been trying to find a used Reef Octopus 3000EXT for my system. There is a nice size Bubble King for sale that was listed on here around a month ago but they seller won't reply to any form of message. I'm wondering if he died. Currently I'm using a Precision Marine Bullet 3, it does a good job but its tall, loud and consumes a lot of electricity.

Noise is one of the things I don’t want to compromise on for my new setup as it is in the living room and my wife is very distracted by the loud aquarium equipment. I definitely want to have an effective skimmer as I have a large bioload with fish in my current 150g.
