Deltec 1500ix skimmer.

[Njdevils1220]

Hello all, I am tearing down my tank due to life circumstances and will be selling my 5 month old Deltec 1500ix skimmer. This skimmer costs $720 new, I would like to get at least $600 and buyer pays shipping. I made a thread about how well this skimmer performs over the Nyos 220 I had prior and includes many more features so this is a deal!

HOW MANY GALLONS IS IT RATED FOR?

 

[Njdevils1220]

Deltec rates it 180-380. I am using it currently on a heavily stocked 160g total volume system and it works incredible. Thick, dark and smelly skimmate.

I say this can support up to 4oo gals. This is a beautiful unit.

Performance is better. It comes 100% apart for better maintenance. Has longer history as a company since Deltec made the first skimmer. Has built in manual neck cleaner and overflow protection. It also is smaller than Nyos and has a more true body. What I mean by that is it does not taper or bottle as it gets towards the cup which gives more contact area.
