Deltec Style DIY skimmer parts for sale

I am doing some spring cleaning in my shop and I need to get rid of some unfinished projects that are taking up bench space. Here's what I've got:

Kit 1:

6.5" acrylic tube already cut for body and collection cup

3" acrylic tube for neck and in-cup riser

3/8" thick black acrylic cut and groove routed for base, top and collection cup

1" and 1/2" uniseals for pump mounts and outlet riser pipe mount

Grey SCH 40 PVC plumbing for outlet riser pipe and pump mount

1" single union George Fischer ball valve for outlet return pipe

Threaded drain el fitting for collection cup

Gen-X 1500 recirculation pump

3 sch 40 grey 1/2" modified unions for pump and skimmer feed mount

1.2" hose barb for skimmer feed

Labcock for air adjustment

Here is one that I completed using the exact same parts:




All you need is Weld-on to put it all together.

Selling for $200- Please do not ask me to put it together for you for extra $....I really don't have time to mess with it...



I should have everything except the pump for a second kit but I need to make sure. I would like to get $170 for the second kit...

I based ratings when I initially built it on the Euroreef ratings since they were nearly identical (despite looking more like a Deltec) and this one was rated for a 100g. The equivelant HSM and the like would rate it much higher....

Is the cup removable somehow?
It looks like there is a something but I don't see anything listed.

It still looks like a very complete diy kit.
Good luck.

Update:

Apparently I lost the ceramic shaft for the pump so the price for the above is reduced to $170. I'll leave the pump in in case the buyer can find a shaft for the pump. Both kits are still available....

OK, the deal fell through so these are available again. Twist lock flanges are available for them but they will be $30 extra each so we're looking at $180 shipped with the twistlock flange and $150 shipped without them....

Does the collection cup have a removable top for cleaning?... Also, I was trying to find the Deltec skimmer you said this was similar too, but I couldn't find anything... could you show me a link?

Thanks

Hi,
So what is kit 1 and kit 2?? How much more $$ to complete the build?
Are ALL the holes drilled so all you have to do is glue it together??
Kit 1 and kit 2, is one LESS pump? I can buy a pump just would need to know make and model.
Thanks for your help,
DC

Thanks-

At this point neither of them have pumps. I couldn't find the shaft for the Gen-X 1500 that was bought for it. I have one currently running with the 1500 and it works well but I think it would ROCK with a 2400 or a Sedra 5000. The parts you would need would be the pump and some weld-on. PM me if interested....
