Can get one NIB for 365.00. Is it worth it. Comes with 2 Sicce PSK2500 pumps.

I have one on my 120g tech with a 40g sump and I have the ATB purple pinwheels on my skimmer pumps and it's a beast I never had any algae problems from start to now no unwanted algae,it almost fill's the cup up with a black skimmate every 7 days, my buddy has one of those big$ cone skimmers and he is jealous of my skimmer and what's it done for my tank ,click on my red house for tank shots and more info

Got mine a few days ago. It is supposed to be a 2009 model. It was drop shipped from Coralvue. It has the cone transition on it like the Ext 200. No one else seems to have seen this. Looks like I am going to have to pull it out of the sump and take some pics if I can find my camera.

mark728,
Incredible system you have. Amazing colors and growth. Could be a TOTM soon. I made sure my wife saw the pics of your tank before I ordered the skimmer. Definitely made it an easy sale. THANKS!
