Spring Cleaning

M

Mike S

Time to clean out some of the stuff that I've accumulated over the years.

58 gallon oceanic reef ready tank. I used it as a quarrantine tank and hand bought it used from someone. The front it pretty scratched up so it wouldn't be suitable as a display tank. Also includes a 2x4 wood stand. $25

48x20x20 inch MRC hi flow sump. It was drilled for an extranal pump but I sealed it off with a bulkhead and used an external pump. You could replace the bulkhead if you wanted to go external. $100

Large white acrylic water cotainer. Holds about 50 to 60 gallons. I used it for saltwater. $35.

Skimz leopard 253 skimmer body. Skimz rates this up to 500 gallons but 250 to 350 is probably the sweet spot. The pump died and I decided to go to a larger external skimmer. The body is in great shaped amd just needs a new pump. Skimz is now selling a new pump for it (VSC 9 DC pump). BRS sells the pump for 250. Might be some other options out there since its an external pump that connects to the body via a small piece of tubing. $200

It was a DC pump not a pressure rated pump. I believe it was the DC10000. Looks like they have a newer pump model. I suspect they were having issues with the original model. I went through 2 pumps each lasting about a year. I tried replacing the impeller but no dice. Before i decided to go with an external skimmer I was thinking about throwing a bubble blaster on it. Might be some other options out there but it's an internal skimmer.

Sure that might not be until later in the week. I have it packed away in my garage.
