WTB: Cheap Skimmer that works (oxymoronic phrase I know)

#1
So, my skimmer pooped out and I am in the market for a cheap non-cracked skimmer with working pump attached for my new-to-me 75 gallon. I would prefer something I could throw into the sump (eshopps wet/dry), and I would guess the footprint would have to be not too huge because there is already a good sized pump hogging it. I would be interested in a Coralife 65 for example. I know there are a lot of folks who aren't big fans of them and the 65 is underrated for my size tank, but I had one on my 90 and after a ton of tweaking with settings and air tube, it rocked.

PM me with what you have for sale, price, and approximately when it would be available (asap is preferred as I already have some rock in the tank), and location for pickup please. Thanks in advance!

I have one, its been backed away for quite awhile, and I'm sure it was put up without being cleaned. FREE.

Hey, no kidding! I would be OH so grateful if the pump worked and it sucked water in at this point, :LOL:. Was going to try to DIY one but with 3 kids, one being a 2-year-old, I barely get time to brush my hair.

It worked when I put it up, has a rio needle wheel pump, a collection cup mod / with drain. I can throw in in some water when I get he, and just double check everything. I'm sure it will have a bunch of coralline to deal with, but its yours if you want it. Brighton.

NOT picky here - I can clean anything! Thank you so much! I'll PM you

I just have to give a BIIIIIG shout out to FishTV for being so generous - I hooked up that skimmer and within an hour or two, the cup was filling with skimmate. You don't quite realize how expensive this hobby is until something breaks, :LOL:, but you don't realize how friendly and awesome this forum is until you need something.
