WTB: Skimmer

Justin · #1 03-01-2003, 06:17 PM

Looking for something for a 48 long, ideally something hang on. Have no sump now, but will have one in the future (possibly a fuge). Anyone have a SeaClone kicking around they wish they never bought?

I have some equiptment I could trade as well, I will make it worth your while. Prefer local! I need something fast, as I think not having one is hurting my dissolved oxygen, and substituting a skimmer with a canister filter in not working. I have been trying to get out to Ocean Aquatics, but that 4 hour a week thing is tight to work with! Thanks!

Were you serious about selling for $30? I'm looking for a 2nd skimmer for my tank. I haven't seen the Seaclone yet but how does it compare with the Prism? Does the Seaclone come with a pump? Is it a RIO or is it built-in like the Prism?

They seem to go best with a MJ1200 and venturi kit, Sam. Of course they're not a very GOOD skimmer, but to ridicule someone for using one is a bit much...

I have a "modified" one that I'm not using, but no pump. Maybe you have something for tradesies?

You're absolutely right, and I wouldn't ridicule anyone that bought one early into the hobby. We all make mistakes. But for someone that is already a member of this and other boards, they should know better or at least research this piece of junk skimmer before they waste money they probably worked very hard to earn.
And people that try to sell them should also be ashamed of themselves. They know they're crap!!! That's why they're selling it!

I bought a visajet skimmer when I first started in salt. It couldn't skim foam from beer. I did the responsible thing and threw it away; I didn't try to pawn my junk on other newbie hobbyists!!

Hope that clarifies the ridicule stuff

you know, you all laugh at Seaclones but for a 20 gal or smaller nano I think they are the best bang for the buck.. and if there modifyed they skim pretty good. Sam, if you would have asked me a month ago it would have been yours.. but now I am concidering setting up a 20 or 25 gal nano :shock:
