I have finally come to terms in parting with my Reef Dynamics INS-180 skimmer.
This is an ABSOLUTE workhorse. Have had it for about 10 years but its been in storage for the last year or so. There's no bubble plate, its not a fancy dc pump and its BIG, but in comparison to today's skimmers, it can run circles around most.
Issues:
The impeller was repaired about 5 years ago. Had a small snail get stuck and it broke the impeller. A bit of super glue and its as good as new. Ran with the repaired impeller for a good 3-4 years after the repair.
Skimmer collection cup was cracked. I dropped it in the sink awhile back. Repaired it with acrylic glue and its has no negative effects on how the skimmer functions.
The body has 3 'burns' from where it rested against a heater in my sup at some point in the past.
There are 2 lids included. One has the housing for an Avast Swabbie, glued to it. Just the plastics, no actually Swabbie. The other lid has some glue on top and a hole drilled in the middle for a Swabbie. The hole can be taped or have a Swabbie drop right in.
Pricing this aggressively since its not in "Like New" condition. Price is firm!
$400 shipped to the CONUS
Thanks,
Kevin
