![]() At almost $800 shipped from the states then add custom, duties, broker fee & tax this would be a good deal as it is brand new never used.

![]() I have to find one that will fit in my current sump or be external so that when I get the 250 rebuilt it will just slide over with me sump. Also wanting to switch to a big return pump (have been looking at last lights pump for sale) and build the returns all on one pump instead of 2.

![]() This one, http://cgi.ebay.com/8-Recirculating-...item4aa08d8927 by any chance?
Reef Octopus brand seems to have many different skimmer models. I have never heard any negative reviews on them. Looks like a pretty good deal to me..
