Large Skimmer FS/FT

[blfuller123]

I was going to build a 450-550 gallon tank into the wall in my house and this is the skimmer I built for it. My wife wants to move now, so the big tank isnt going to happen right now. Anyway, I have tested it and it has no leaks. It has dual beckett injectors and a 1.5 inch gate valve on it. It has keyhole flanges on the first riser and on the collection cup for quick access cleaning. The tallest point of it is 33.5 inches and the box at the bottom is 12X8. It has a single 1 inch inlet and the wast out is a 1/2 inch barb fitting. This skimmer wil need a large pump for it. It has never been run on a tank, just a small 20 gallon in the garage for testing. I am looking for $325 OBO for it or looking for a large pump in trade. I am guessing around $35 for shipping in the US.

i have a wave pump 1/15 HP 3000gph if you are interested to trade. That skimmer look like an MR3. Is it home made?

[blfuller123]

It is somewhere between a MR4 and MR5. I made this. Do you have any pictures of your pump? How old is it?

my pump is 5 months old. I don't have any pix of my pump right now. It is 11/2 inlet and 11/2 outlet. Very quiet and energy efficient.
By MR3 is 36", MR4 is 48". I also have 2months old panworld 100px-x. very low wattage 1200gph at 4feet head 1"inlet and outlet. Let me know which one you want to trade. I am not using your skimmer in my tank. I am trading it for a friend. My MR3 Work great for my tank.
