Gauging Interest: RedSea C-Skim 1800 protein skimmer.

[B-Rizzle0279]

Gauging interest if anyone wants this skimmer. Its in great shape. Aspiration pump works. Can come without feed pump, or with a Rio 1700. Would need a valve to tune down some but company recommends 400-450 gph thru feed. Got it with a tank, not sure if I'm going to use it. They say up to 180 gallons but not too big for 40 gallons. Will post pics later when I get home from work.

How much? and your in Cheyenne right?

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

Yea I'm up in Cheyenne. Thinking $140 w/o pump and $180 w/ pump. The skimmer w/o pump on amazon goes for $250 new.

Also, it is missing the little elbow fitting on the water return. I'm planning on emailing the company today and see if I can get it replaced. Buy you can fit a large piece of nylon braided or regular flex hose.

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

I might have an extra piece of hose that'll work for it and can use the hose to couple it to a bulk head. Makes for easy removal

They are all missing that elbow. I bought one brand new in box that did not have it.

I am still trying to decide if I am going to give it a try on my system, or just stick with the ASM-G2 I am currently running.

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

Yea, I'm still thinkin about it. Its more bulky than I expected it to be. But most cause the way you have to take the cup off. Need room for the handles

 

[Blindrage]

If you want you never have to take the cup off. It already has an attachment point to hook up a remote collection cup so everything just drains into something easier to remove and clean.

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

Even then, they recommend cleaning the cup and neck cleaner once a month. Which is too bad to only clean it once a month

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

Actually, I'll go ahead and take $125 for it for whoever wants it. Not the right style I'm wanting.

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

That's without pump. I'll do $175 with a Rio 1700 feed pump. The aspiration pump on this thing is super strong. 40w pump on its own

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

Im open for trades, depending on what it is. working on getting a 75 up and going. just want a different skimmer than this one on there

 

[B-Rizzle0279]

Exscuse me? I wasnt aware the cost I paid for a brand new skimmer was any concern or had anything to do with a straight across trade. I was not aware you were going to take my equipment and try to make a buck! Bottom line!
