    Default AquaC Urchin Pro Skimmer for Sale - for tanks up to 125g

    I just purchased this item used. It appears to be in perfect condition.
    I even ordered some spare o-rings for it so it has not one but 3! o-rings

    Here's the MarineDepot description of it:

    http://www.marinedepot.com/AquaC_Urc...ISSIUH-vi.html

    AquaC Urchin Pro In-Sump Skimmer, No Pump Features:
    • Tank Size (Gallons): 40 to 120
    • Skimmer Height: 20"
      *Urchin and Urchin Pro need an additional 6 inches for collection cup removal. Minimum height needed for easy maintanence is 24 and 26 inches, respectively.

    Finally, a small sump skimmer that requires no plumbing, fiddling with, or constant maintenance. The Urchin is the newest addition to AquaC`s line of innovative protein skimmers that utilize spray induction technology. Based on the popular Remora, the Urchin is a sump model that is suitable for small tanks that don`t require the waste-removing power of the AquaC EV Series. No plumbing required, simply drop in the sump and plug in the pump! Unlike most sump skimmers, the Urchin does not need to be raised or tinkered with to maintain the proper water level. For those with larger mini-reefs, try the Urchin Pro.

    The Urchin and Urchin Pro requires the smallest amount of sump space of any skimmer in it`s class:
    AquaC Urchin footprint: 6" x 4.75"
    AquaC Urchin Pro footprint: 7.5" x 5.25"

    Note: Do not be deceived by the smaller pumps needed to run these protein skimmers. These are extremely efficient protein skimmers. For example, the Urchin Pro is powered with only a Rio 1400, but it greatly outperforms a Red Sea Berlin Skimmer powered with a Rio 2500. Therefore, an AquaC protein skimmer consumes less electricity, transfers less heat to the aquarium, and still outperforms larger skimmers.
    Silly me -I only considered foot print and it turns out it's a smidgen too tall for my stand!
    So back to my old, short, fat skimmer I go.

    New price is $193. I am asking what I paid for it (used): $90 and will throw in the new o-rings for free

    I love these AquaC Spray Injection skimmers. It's what I got on my big reef tank.
    No need for any specialty pumps.
    Any pump of the right size will work.

    This does not come with a pump.

    I just purchased a brand new Sicce 1.5 for it.

    If you need a pump the Sicce would make a perfect match for this skimmer. It is quiet, low energy consumption, low heat production and small footprint.

    I can include the pump for a total of $160 for skimmer with pump or $90 OBO for just the skimmer

    That's with a brand new Sicce pump, still in the box (compare to the set with a cheaper Mag 3 at Marinedepot for $230)
