Thats funny. This is the same skimmer I was bidding on the big auction site. Auction was ended early and the skimmer was withdrawn . I recieved a reason that im not sure I believe now since seing it here, unless the damge im told it had isnt being listed on this thread???? Whats up with that payyourtoll?????

payyourtoll · #9 12/16/2007, 01:20 PM

We are having an issue of scam on ebay right now, and as we said we are avoiding any negative feedback or other BS, selling it here. We never said it was damaged, just dirtier than it appeared in those pictures. If you believe us or not, we really dont care. We know we are honest and dont have to explain this 10x to someone.

fish, check your email!

bkoz · #10 12/16/2007, 01:37 PM

You ended it early and gave no opportunity for me to buy before listing it here and I was the highest bidder. I call BS!!!!

payyourtoll · #11 12/16/2007, 04:10 PM

ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr James · #12 12/16/2007, 11:39 PM

What pump does one use on this??

Oh and, what isn't shown that I need??

payyourtoll · #13 12/17/2007, 02:49 PM

hey, a Sedra 3500 or equiv will do the job. Nothing else needed aside from any fittings for the pump to the cannister.

Are these "fittings" regular PVC or some special metric size?

payyourtoll · #15 12/17/2007, 06:11 PM

sorry not sure

viggen · #16 12/18/2007, 09:08 AM

looks like the skimmer needs a pump & the volute/air injector thingy. I would guess $100-150 to get a NW pump & volute thingy. Euroreef sells the pump for $98 by itself.......

Great skimmer but for what it would cost to get it up to working order, one can but a new one. They are $200 new

Mr James · #17 12/18/2007, 10:30 AM

Thanks Viggen, for your assistance in this case. Shame the owner is unfamiliar with his own product.

P.S. I bid on it too on "that one auction site"....

fishnfrogs · #18 12/18/2007, 12:30 PM

Viggen,

Where can I get the skimmer for $200 new?

ivgonmad · #19 12/18/2007, 12:42 PM

nowhere, the cheapest euro-reef is like $250 and its meant for an 80g tank

ivgonmad · #20 12/18/2007, 12:44 PM

whoever get this should use a sendra 5000 w/needle wheel impeller

I have the same skimmer, does a great job in my 90g

markandkristen · #21 12/18/2007, 12:58 PM

i thought the 5-3 was the same size as the rs-80

they used to sell them new at marinedepot for 179

Brandon Cassidy · #22 12/18/2007, 01:12 PM

90 ga with how many fish? I may want this.

payyourtoll · #23 12/18/2007, 06:30 PM

Guys, I am not by any means claiming to know specifics on the skimmer. I bought it used off this board for $120, and never used it. After shipping I lose $40, oh well.

It is physically very similar to the RS80, which I am running with a 3500 and doing great. Thanks ivgon for your posts.
