siskiou Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm not sure, but I thought if someone is looking to build their own skimmer, they might be able to use this for parts. D&D Terminator Or if you have a Mag7 around and want to try out a crazy skimmer... The outlet on the slanted part (where the hose for the skimmate attaches) is cracked, but glued together and holding. Other than that, the skimmer body is in good shape. $50 obo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerv503 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 That's very creative by building your own skimmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 I wish I could build my own skimmer, but that project is just a little too involved for me! If nobody wants this, does anyone have any suggestions what I could make out of the pieces? Calcium reactor? Something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_biker Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 dont know if you saw my other post, but if you want i would trade my uv sterilizer, the one you used, for the skimmer body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I did! I asked in the other thread if you could give me the brand and specs of the uv again. I wanted to check on pricing and availability of the replacement bulbs for it, before I decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Jebo, Odyssea, Coralife, and ESU, as well as any other 2 pin bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think I might want to do the exchange. How old is the bulb at this point? Still any life left in it? And are they serious about the 3600 Gph max on this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I would say that 3600GPH is for pond use. That doesn't allow the dwell time required for the parasites we try to kill in our reef aquaria. I would say that 24/7 run time is about 6 months. I used it for 2-3, then you used it, and I haven't had it running since. Dont know what the life expectancy is on the bulb, but I would say you are good for a while. I would keep the gph around the 400-500 range. i work every day, but get off around 4:30-5 so let me know what day works best for you. if you are in my area, let me know, and i will do likewise.
