    Hi I am just putting a feeler out there so see who has a bigger skimmer out there for a 220gal RR Tank. I am putting it in a 75gal Acrlyic tank.

    I am looking a Pacific coast Skimmer its said to be an older Dual RPS 5000,but I can't find anything online about this. It was used for a over 300 gal tank so I think it will be good for my 220gal.

     

    Anyway let me know what you may have and remember I am looking at used,because I don't want to spend 400 and above for a new one.

     

    Thanks

    I've been looking too. Not an easy item to find used! Least not for a 2-300 gallon tank.

    Well for being lame it got me a 6 month old SRO-5000 skimmer for $300 and a 3 month old 7-stage 100gpd RO/DI unit for $200. Not to shabby if I say so and yes its the dreaded 50/90 rule.

     You again.  

    I'm sure there are good deals available. That was not the point of my comment. I've just never, in my many years experience with message board B/S/T, seen such an exclusionary policy. There are other ways to assure buyer/seller safety that are more effective.
