[nycfatcow]

[Tonyscoots84]

ive seen someones do really well. they had a mod on it though.

 

[nycfatcow]

Cal,

Google the skimmer model, after the name and model, add "review" without the quotes. you should hit lots of pages that should help you.
But if you see the description it says it Requires a 650-780 GPH pump to operate. That seems to me the pump is extra, bringing up the price.

 

[nycfatcow]

ok coo ink good advice...i cant come up with 200 but i do have 100 lying around...imma start up another thread and see if anyone is selling skimmers

 

[nycfatcow]

thanks gerry i will do that with my spare time

 

[spykes]

i just bought that skimmer, and a oceanrunner 2700 NW, im gonna do the recirculating mod on that thing and see how it works, supposely it will be the same as a RC6-2

 

[nycfatcow]

i hate mods...i dont wanna end up breakign anything lol

 

[Tonyscoots84]

spykes let me no how that works out.

 

[coralcrazy]

I think you should buy my Seaclone 100 40$..

 

[nycfatcow]

haha crazy man coral crazy....if you remember correctly i was gonna sell you mine

Ink, he'll never be able to get an Aqua C EV for a hundred and change. They sell used EV-120's anywhere from $150 - $200 and that's the smallest EV.

Also, on that link, you can buy the Coralife skimmer with the needle wheel pump for $168

I think there was a pretty big thread on RC about that skimmer. From what Ive read, its a pretty good skimmer (the one with the needlewheel), however its very sensitive. I think you can get an asm skimmer for your 75 which will be great, or even the aquac ev 120, thas the one that Im using and it kicks ass
