FS: SWC/MSX Extreme 160 Skimmer - $180
Skimmer for sale
This is a really well made skimmer and has done wonders compared to my previous asm g2. I had it on my 112 with 29 sump and had about 10 medium size fish in it. It did great and I had sps and such. As with most skimmers, the level of water needs to be constant and the skimmer should be cleaned once to twice a week for optimal performance. I have the mesh wheel with extra mesh. I never tried it but I'm sure it wouldv'e done sick if I did.  Price is $180 and I won't go under that. I have used it since February. reason for the low price is because I had to super glue one of the legs on the bottom in place. Holds really well and has no effect what so ever on the performance. Comes with a thicker and better air hose (the one it came with would kink) Located in North Miami Beach, Thanks

Free bump...
Hey guys I have the same skimmer but an Octopus 160 and have a question. I see the pump goes connected to the bottom of the skimmer but how? I think I am missing a piece to connect the pump to the bottom of the skimmer, or in other words how is the pump connected to the bottom of the skimmer? Thanks |

mojo, it kinda just fits right in. thanks for the bump
for those who don't know, the swc/msx and the octo extreme are essentially the same thing except that the swc/msx have a better venturi to pull more air. They are the same design otherwise, very well made for the price still for sale

I like that skimmer and I am hoping that it will fit in my sump. I am trying to get the exact demensions and cant seem to come up with them.
My sump is 7.75 in x 9 in. Could I cram that in there. Its almost 12in diagonally. Thanks for any info, Ed |
