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.
