So, I'm looking at a skimmer; its a reef octopus internal 150. The local shop here is asking $125 for it and says it has been used for about a year. On a website that I found, (not sure if I'm aloud to put the name on here or not) that seems to have a good reputation, has said skimmer for sale for $263.99. My question is, should I go new, is the shops asking price a good deal, and any other thoughts you might have.
I have a 100 gal marineland eclipse tank I wanted to trade for the skimmer and an RO/DI unit along with paying a reasonable difference with cash, but they won't do a trade and will order the ro/di unit online. I was a bit surprised because they quoted me the online price, which I can get myself.
Wish I was in the PDX area as I would probably have better shops to work with. Anyways, please give me all the advice you can dispense!
Thank you!
