AquaC skimmers / misc. items for sale / trade

[melbourne]

Items are for pickup in Somers, NY or I can lug some of this stuff down to the Fragfest.

(pumps are not included - I recommend a Mag 5 or 7)

Remora Pro skimmer with standard cup, o-ring and elbow adapter $90 (I have two of these)
Remora regular skimmer with extended cup and drain fitting, o-ring and elbow adapter $80

The Mag 5 in the picture is not included, but shows you how the pump mounts to the skimmer body. You can go back to the original configuration by getting a hose barb fitting from home depot and replacing the elbow. But this configuration is better for skimmate production. Decent HOB skimmer - the Pro with a Mag 7 is almost as good as my Deltec MCE600 which runs the three 2.5g tanks in picture. I will clean up the skimmers before selling them.

PFO Magnetic 250W Metal Halide Ballast - an old ballast I had left over when I upgraded to HQI setups. Its a bit beat up but still works. No
power switch, and I spliced in a longer power lead instead of the old PFO connector, top of the case is missing the screws but still fits on it you want it. $40.00 (this ballast will not run pulse start bulbs like the Radium) but it will run your standard probe start bulbs (XM, etc).

White generic SE mogul metal halide pendant - hangs by the power cord - again not in the best shape but it works. $25.00


Ballast/Pendant combo $60.00


Willing to trade for a PFO 70w HQI pendant, CO2 solenoid, and frags (zoas, rics mainly) or nice a.millepora's.

why did you put an elbow vs the barb? im running a pro with mag 3 hanging in my sump and it works great.

Sorry, second remora Pro sold to Serum from Reefcentral. The reason I put on the elbow is that it allows the Mag to sit closer to the water surface so less head pressure on the pump and it takes up less space in tank and slightly less heat in tank. Another benefit of hard plumbing your pump is that it will never fall off. Using a hose barb unless you clamp the pump there is a chance it can work itself free. Take a look at the picture you will see the Mag itself will only have about 1/4 of its body in the water. Its not important in a sump application but most folks with HOBS use them in tank. The regular Remora is still available. I had these skimmers running on some 55g holding tanks (no sump). I'm consolidating those into a Rubbermaid stock tub so I'm going with a different skimmer solution. I'll also have a Tunze DOC 9010 with a foam extractor and another Remora Pro available once I complete my consolidation.
