WTB 200-250 gallon rated skimmer

[ValG]

Thinking about upgading my skimmer. With increased bio load in my tank my 150 gallon rated reef octopus is falling a bit short. Please let me know if you have something like ASM G3 or ASM G4. Something in that ball park. It does need to be with a somewhat smaller footprint so it can fit in my sump. If you are looking for a smaller skimmer may be we can work out a trade or something.

What do you have to trade? I have a vertex skimmer (not the cone style) that is pretty good sized. I'm not sure the size again I'll find out but it's a beast.

 

[ValG]

I have some pretty nice zoas that i can trade. Or can also trade my current skimmer plus cash/corals. I don't know much about vertex skimmers... are they in-sump?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Yes it is in sump. They are really nice skimmers. What skimmer do you have now?

 

[ValG]

I have a reef octopus right now. I love it but need something bigger

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Send me your phone number and I'll text you a pic of the vertex skimmer?

Aqua medic has some nice cone skimmers w dc pumps

Just figured out that G4 has a footprint that's too big. So G3 would be the max I can go with ASM brand.

I think I have a G3 laying around. I will check and let you know later today...

Do you still have a g3 available? If so, what are the dimensions of it?

 

[szavoda]

It looks like it was a Aqua C - reasonable footprint, but a hairline crack in collection cup. If I still have the G3, it is in storage and I can't get to it for about 4 days. But I am doubting it is in there as I did a clean out when I started my build in January...

I have a Precision Marine Bullet 3.

Can you please tell me the dimensions? Foot print and how tall it is? The skimmer needs to fit under my tank. I'll measure my stand to see what max hight I can fit in there, should have done that in the first place.

I have a Precision Marine Bullet 3.

Is it this guy? http://www.marinedepot.com/Precisio...ecision_Marine-PM1111-FIPSISBF-PM1131-vi.html

I'll check on the max hight tonight. But at 32" it may be too tall to go under the tank.

That's it.

 

[ValG]

So I only have 27.5" of vertical space in my stand limiting my option to skimmers that are not taller that 26" or so.

I have one of these in storage. https://www.seasideaquatics.com/?p=237

The thing is a monster for its size. I've been saving it for next build but it looks like it may not happen. Pm if interested

I can get you any bubble magus skimmer. Maybe a curve 7 or curve 9. Real nice small footprints but pull like champs

 

[TheRealChrisBrown]

I have a G3 that I am currently using, but would like to buy Muralreef's Precision Marine bullet 3. If you are interested in my G3 maybe we can make it work so I'm not without skimmer for too long? My G3 is in need of a vinegar bath

How old is your skimmer/pump? Can you PM me how much you are asking for it and may be a couple of pics?
