Just Get A new One

[doxboi]

My Skimmer has not been working now for about a week. How long can I go with out it. Or should just by a new one already.

You can go forever without one provided you have a good nutrient export. That being said I think protein skimmers are one of the best pieces of equipment to have for a tank.

I am trying to find a good used one for cheap here on this site and on e-bay but I can't wait forever. Have you seen anything?:scared: :scared:

what size tank? Hang on or in-sump?

 

[doxboi]

Hang on is fine. I just put a bid on a wet-dry. We'll see what happens. But a hang on will do fine.

I know of a used Remora Pro with Preskimmer box and Mag 3 for 150 plus shipping.

 

[doxboi]

I would love that one but, my wife is not going to agree to $150 plus.

 

[nas19320]

I understand. If your looking for a HOB skimmer than I recommend looking for a used Remora or Bak Pak skimmer, those are two of the better HOB skimmers out there.
