Reef Octopus diablo 200 external skimmer 2 months old next to new condition
Skimmer is really nice quality extremely quite dc pump . Reason Im selling it is because I failed to do enough research before buying . I have a 4foot cube view-able from all 4 sides so I wanted to run the skimmer underneath the tank but found out the drain has to sit lower than the collection cup, my sump is tall so the skimmer drain could not go over the sump wall without raising the drain . So I hooked it up on the outside of the tank to test it out and of course it runs really nice but cant leave it on the outside of the stand as it looks terrible . The skimmer is 2 months old comes with dc pump all original parts but does not have a feed pump as I plumbed the feed into my drain so from the aquarium so I never needed a feed pump so depending how you want to run it you may need to buy a feed pump. Will avoid shipping due to the size of the skimmer . $400 takes it dont have a pic but its literally brand new no damage wont even need to clean it . Good up to 350g
