Default SOLD 300 Gallon Beckett Skimmer $150.00

Can be internal in the sump or external with the outflow pipe above sump lip level. I have run it both ways and both work well.

This has been a great skimmer for me, it ran my 180 heavy stocked reef tank and a attached 90 gallon.

I fed the flow from my dart return pump but you can use any type of pump powerful enough to make bubbles.

You can upgrade it to a 600 gallon skimmer by ordering the additional beckett for $99 if your looking for overkill skimming.

Working well just downsized and running a euroreef RS 180 with mesh wheel mod.

I can include some black one inch non kink hose to attach to your pump.

First 150.00 takes it home.

My Reef Creations protein skimmers utilize a Beckett 1408 foam head. This is the most powerful skimmer you can buy. As your system grows, so can your skimmer. You can add a second injector and/or an extension tube to make your skimmer able to handle larger systems. We specialize in helping you get the best skimmer for your system. Why purchase a skimmer that is off the shelf? Wouldn't you rather talk to the manufacturer to make sure it will work for your needs? We believe in helping before, during and after a sale. All skimmers utilize 1/4" thick Cell Cast Acrylic and O-ring gaskets for a superior seal. All the top flanges are keyholed for ease of maintenance and are 3/8" thick for strength. All skimmer boxes are also made with 3/8" thick cast acrylic and engraved with the MRC logo everyone has come to recognize as quality. Our skimmers come standard with a gate valve, pre-installed, so they are basically plug and play; no need to run to the hardware store to get your new skimmer to work!

Model MR-2
Box Dimensions 10.5" x 7" x 8"
First Riser OD 6"
Second Riser OD 4"
Number of Injectors 1 or 2
Gate Valve (standard) 1.5"
Total Height 24.5"
Rating 300 gallons

And we all know, it will end up overstocked...I think this would be perfect. Let's hope Seamazter will ship! By Greyhound, it's easy, they're "pretty good" and then my husband can figure out how to plumb it! LOL

Sarah, you will be happy with this skimmer. I have the MR-3 with dual Becketts and love it. It's very important to run it with a pump large enough. The more water you blast at it the more skimmate you'll get.
