    Default WTS or WTT Bubble King 180 Generation 2 --- Rio Grande Valley

    I downgraded my skimmer to an ATB 840. This BK180 is amazing but was way too big for my system. Super quiet with a very small footprint and high quality materials. They retail for over 1,100 new. I purchased this skimmer from Mojo on reef central; when it arrived it had a small crack on the body where the output is. The material of the skimmer is so thick so it didnt affect the performance of the skimmer and the crack hasnt gotten bigger. "Mojo" told me not to worry about it. It's generation 2 with the ozone port and different volute.

    Anyways, I'm looking to sell this skimmer for 580 cash locally. Would trade for an ATI sunpower 6x54w T5HO fixture. I'm also in need of a large external pump, preferably a bubble blaster pump + cash. Not in a rush to sell either

    I'd get this, but 8 bulbs is too big much for my 75g. Front to back my tank is 18" and with 8 bulbs it would stick out and spill a lot of light over the tank.

    I guess things I would consider for trade, plus some cash on some of these would be:

    -ATI Sunpower/Powermodule 6x54w
    -TEK light 6x54w (would be better if the was elite)
    -Profilux II or III with at least a PAB (?)
    -Bubble Blaster return pump in the 1,000+ gph range

    I would like to upgrade my lighting on my 75g or upgrade my return pump to install my chiller

    I let a local reefer barrow my 8 bulb while i tryed out his 6 bulb and he loved the 8 bulb over his exact same 75g.
