      Skimmers: Super Reef Octopus and Tunze

      I have for sale a couple of skimmers

      First up is the Tunze 9006. This one came with a tank I purchased but I have no use for it. Skimmer body is in 7-8 out of 10 condition. Pump works excellent. It did not have the magnets when I received it so it will be sold as is. It also does not have the "in-sump" plumbing. This was sold as an add-on. The water level line shown on the skimmer body is at 10 3/4". Specs are below:

      Specifications:
      Recommended for aquariums up to 600 litres (158 US gal.) of salt water.
      Dimensions: L125 x W113 x H378 mm (L4.9 x W4.4 x H14.8 in.)
      115V/60Hz:12 W
      Water throughput: 850 l/h (224 US gal./h)
      Air capacity: 500 l/h (132 US gal./h)
      Skimmer cup volume: .4l (.10 US gal.)
      Magnet holder up to a glass thickness of 12 mm (.47 in.)
      For operation in an aquarium cabinet (in-sump), use DOC Skimmer Extension Set 9005.40 sold seperately.

      Price: $70

      Second skimmer is the Super Reef Octopus XP1000SSS. Here are the specs from CoralVue:

      Rated for Aquariums up to 125 Gallons
      Footprint: 9.5″ x 7.5″ | Body Diameter: 6″ | Height: 20.5″
      Powered by: Bubble Blaster 1000 pinwheel pump

      FEATURES

      Small Footprint
      Full Cone Body for Added Foam Stabilization
      Powered by Bubble Blaster 1000 Pump
      Removable Turbulence Reducing Bubble Plate
      Easy to Remove Collection Cup
      Air Silencer
      Precision Control Output Valve
      Solid Construction

      Never used on my system but ran when giving a vinegar bath. This is a great skimmer, especially for people with small sumps. Purchased it used from a different forum's member. When I purchased the skimmer the seller left out one important piece of info. The screws that hold the volute (impeller cover) on were rusted. I checked CoralVue's site and they now sell a set of 4 replacement screws made of titanium for $2.50. The volute shows signs of wear but works fine. If you wanted to replace this CoralVue sells them for $25. Impeller is in perfect condition. Motor block work excellent. Just laying it all out there so you are not left in the dark as to what you are buying like I was. Taking a big loss on this skimmer because of these issues. For an extra $27.50 for the above replacement parts you have a great running skimmer.

      Price: $160

      Yes the body of the skimmer has the SRO XP-2000SSS sticker on it. CoralVue screwed up when they sent out the skimmer with the wrong model sticker on it. Maybe its worth more because of this.

      Pick up is in Temecula or I can bring to work with me in Poway for serious buyers. Pick up in Poway will be between 7-3pm.

      Thanks, Mark
