Wtb protein skimmer.

Ok I feel my protein skimmer is not skimming up to par. And I'm going to be stepping up in aquarium size here shortly. So I just wanted to put out there if any of you have a spare protein skimmer sitting around that can skim 120 gallons very well please send me a private message. Thank you!

So I'm on the edge of investing into this skimmer. I've read tons of positive reviews.
SCA-302 Protein Skimmer http://bit.ly/RSRbHo
But I figured I would give it one more shot out there and see if anyone has a good skimmer laying around and don't want anymore than 130$.

What skimmer do you have now?

[Flyride95]

Red Sea 250.

I have the sca 301 I've read really good reviews can't really loose out for the price and they are very similar to the bubble Magnus skimmers.

[Flyride95]

Yea that is what I've heard.

so lets say you have probs with ScA skimmer where do you get it serviced. I keep seeing people in diff forums asking that after buying them. lets say you get a lil more expensive skimmer from a LFS or good store online, atleast you know who to contact, and chances are that skimmer company has a distributer in U.S. to contact. no matter what any skimmer can have problems

Couldnt you just get a new and better pump if it craps out. Isnt that a big % of the problem

but without having a bunch of pumps to test fit it would be a PIA.

If you are reading this, chances are you can find information on the internet for pump replacement. ;)

ok cause ever pump is same size shape and fitting size. I just had a friend who tried to swap his sicce psk-2500 for a psk 1000 and a lot of modification had to be done, in the end buying a new skimmer with a psk1000 would have been better, and we looked all over the Internet for info to help.

I know they sell the replacement pumps too.

Perhaps your right, but in this situation he said he didnt want to spend more than $130. The skimmer mentioned is reasonable for the price.How much modification did you guys do? Cut some plastic?

cutting and weld-on, had to find fitting as one pump was female the other male on exhaust side. bubble plate was too high needed to be cut shorten.

I agree with what you said Chris so I got the NAC7 Bubble Magus cone skimmer that Mig had on here. And boy that thing barely fits in the spot I have for it in the sump. Its footprint is 7.8 x 9.5 and the spot in the sump is 8.25 x 11. But man this thing is skimming like a champ!
