Lf protein skimmer & powerheads

The Grizz · #1 11-12-2009, 03:07 AM

I have a new 155 BF that I am setting up. I am looking for a protein skimmer and power heads.

For the protein skimmer I would like a in-sump capable of 250 gals. I have one in mind and know what I want to pay.

For the power heads would like to have at least 4 Koralia 4's.

BIG NOTE: WILL NOT PAY MORE THEN $300 FOR A USED SKIMMER, 3 MONTHS OLD OR YEARS.

I have A bubble king mini 200 2nd generation rated for 265 gallons I am asking $900 plus shipping costs it's been used for less than a week and comes with original box and warranty.

Ya sorry but I refuse to pay for a name, for $900 I could buy 2 skimmers both as good. I paid that much for my 155 Bow Front tank with stand, canopy, sump, pump, plumbing and MH lighting.

I know you are in Red Deer, I am in Calgary.

I have a Tunze 9010 Skimmer, rated for 265 US gallons... It was used for about 4 months, is still under warranty and I would give you a copy of the receipt for this purpose (if ever needed)

They sell for $450ish... But I will let it go for $250

If interested PM me.

Not saying there is anything wrong with the Bubble King just CAN NOT justify spending $800-$900 for a product that a $300 - $400 product would do the same thing. No insult taken should have clarified my price range sooner.

Wow then you must be very experienced with these skimers to make an assumption just like you did what series of bubble king did you use or maybe you could point me out to some bad reviews on the web if you can find any I will give you the skimmer for free!! Hey bud I simply seen your wanted ad before you posted that you would only spend $300 on a skimmer I wasn't trying to insult you by selling you quality and didn't come out like it was the best skimmer in the world which most likely is anyways lol...
