I've got a CPR BakPak skimmer for sale or trade. The collection cup lid has been drilled for the air stone mod. I do not have the blue bio media and it needs a new pump, but the old pump is included so you'll have the necessary venturi parts. A new pump with rejuvenating venturi cost $19.99 at Marinedepot, so even after the fix the skimmer is only a little over $40 (or a little over $20 and a frag ;))!

Skimmer w/ broken pump: $20 or will trade for frags.

Thanks. I like this skimmer, it's very easy to setup and use. However, it doesn't work in my sump. Well, with the pump broken, it doesn't work at all, but that's easily fixed.
