Default Great Skimmer for Sale !! (75-300g)

Great setup for someone looking for a very good skimmer.

Barr Aquatic SK1220: 26" high x 7" x 10" (75-300 gallon systems)

Designed and build by Brent Barr of Barr Aquatics the quality of this skimmer is second to none. Paired with the Gen-X PCX55HP pump this baby runs through roughly 1000gph and pulls 40+ SCFH of Air through the beckett.

It has seen a few years of use but it's been well looked after and cleaned regularly and functions as it did when it was new.

Twist lock sections for hassle free maintenance. (very few thumbscrews on system, none on collection cup)

- Waste collector with Automatic shutoff.
- Cast (not extruded) Acrylic
- Air flow meter
- 1.5" Gate valve on outflow
- Precision John Guest ball valve for easy air control
- Ozone and CO2 injection ports

More info can be found here: http://www.barraquatic.com/standard_skimmers.php

Price as new: $792US + S/H

Asking Price: $600 CDN

I can ship this anywhere in Canada, however Western Canada would be nicer. I could possibly get it delivered to Edmonton or Northwest Alberta without Shipping.

I have a Ca reactor built from Barr and I can say the quality is exceptional. It looks to be the same for this skimmer. $500 is a great deal.

Why you selling it? How noisey is it?
What skimmer does it compare to on the market?

I'm selling it because my tank has sat empty for over a year now and it'll probably be over a year before it will be running again. (building a new house and moving) I'm also not certain about what I'm going to do with setting up a tank in the new house so I'm going to funnel the money into my house at the moment. There are a few other item's I'm going to sell as well.

Brent's designs are still being sold through Austin Oceans. http://www.austinoceans.com/products-skimmers.html
So technically these are still on the market and you can check them out on their website.

As far as noise goes, no beckett based skimmer is quiet but it's not super loud either, the air intake does have a muffler system. You would however not want it 'out in the open' in any room that requires 'quietness'. So long as it's in a cabnet or such, I didn't find it bad.
