    Default Skimmer

    Before I buy new which will most likely be the case. Anyone have a skimmer rated for 200g that they are getting ready to sale? Im looking at Octopus skimmers but figured why not see if anyone is selling what they have.

    Check out Henry's thread on the for sale forum for one of my skimmers. If you've never seen one you're probably going to be surprised, and he's selling it for literally less than the materials cost.

    Matts monsters are almost to big to fit under my stand. I looked at the other one henry was selling and with a pump the ftpt was to large for my sump area and stand. What ft print does it have JeffCo?

    Jeff's is quite a bit taller, I think about 4-5ft tall. The footprint would be a little bigger. If Henry's is not too tall to fit under your stand, I can probably help you figure out a way to plumb it in the space you have. You can put the skimmer in the sump and run the pump external, for example. That works great if your sump water level stays stable, like with an auto top off.

    Yea, if you want it under the stand, mine will not fit, it's 5ft.

    i can make ya one - smallest footprint is 8" x 11" (+3" on either of those for the drain. single beckett up to 30" tall - $250. you would still have to buy a pump to feed it.
