The ReefBox Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 While waiting for my new tank to be built I have decided to add a few tanks to the system LOL. Going from the one DT to four tanks total of 425 gallon. Thus I will require a skimmer upgrade. For sale is my Orphek Helix Dc skimmer it is rated from 100-250 gallons heavily stocked. It is ultra quiet and works like a beast. I will include a brand new pump and controller that I purchased to have on hand in case of e,regency. This skimmer is currently being cleaned in vinegar and will be like new condition. Imonlys used the skimmer from December 2015-July 2016. They sold for 599.00 and I will make you a great deal Skimmer with extra pump and controller (both new) $300. The pump and controller were 150$ alone. I also have the original box as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi Brian, Is this the 3000 or 5000? I am guessing the former based on the rating. Looks like the footprint is probably too big for my sump anyway but you got me curious. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 3000 it is pretty small in footprint but super efficient like a deltec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks! Looks like a footprint of about 11.5" by 13.5" then and just under 22" tall if I am reading their site correctly. Unfortunately too big (I have a really narrow skimmer chamber) but it does sound really efficient. Nice low clearance as well for anyone height limited.
