Is that an internal or external?  What is it rated for.  I am looking for an external rated for around 400 as well.

Do you still have this skimmer for sale?  I'm also looking for one for my 90g setup.  If not, anyone else have one?

Instead of a skimmer, try an Algae Turf Scrubber. I been using one for over a year without a skimmer and all my water parameters are exactly where they should be and havent fluxuated much at all.

I have the following Euro-Reef RS80 protein skimmer with pump that I'm selling  I bought it new just a little under 2 years ago, and it works great.  Very easy to clean, and very reliable.  Asking $140 for it (paid over double that when I bought it new.  I clean it and soak it in a vinegar bath every two weeks.  The pump is very easy to take apart and I've never had a problem with it.  I even put a drain on the collection cup thats connected to a gallon jug, which makes things much easier to clean.  I also like it because it easily fits under the tank in your sump system.
Here are all of the specs on it:

•Rated for aquarium systems of +/- 80 gallons with a medium bioload
•Sump space required for skimmer: 9" x 9"
•Height: 22"
•Ideal water level: 6.5" constant
•Reaction chamber diameter: 5"
•Reaction chamber volume: 1.02 gallons
•Inlet size: .75"
•Outlet size: 1.25"
•Pump (included): SP2- Euro-Reef modified SEDRA KSP-3500A water pump
•Pump power consumption: 28 Watts @ 115/120 VAC 60hz
•Air intake: 420 lph (Open Water Flow Through)
•Water Flow Through: 120 GPH +/

Please feel free to call or text at any time.  You can also send me an e-mail.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
