Question about a Kent Nautilus TE protein skimmer

WayneVT08 · 08/23/2007, 05:06 AM

A guy at my LRC is selling it for 70 dollars and it comes with a pump for an extra 30 dollars.

Just wanted to know if anyone used this before and if it a good skimmer, he says it works fine on his 120 gallon but I'm not sure.

Is it a good deal?

I have one on my 150 reef, with a heavy bioload and it skims very nice. Easy to adjust. Sounds like an good deal. I think new they are around $170 without pump.

The particular one he is selling is between 3 and 4 years old.

The age of the pump would be your concern. There's nothing to the skimmer which can go bad, unless it's cracked.
