Bubble King Mini 180 VS12 in spotless condition!

[slief]

I have a Bubble King Mini 180 that has had very minimal use and was well maintained. It is in like new condition and spotless inside and out. This won't fit the skimmer section in another tank that I got it for and I will be replacing it with a Mini 160. If you are familiar with Bubble King skimmers then you know these are the best skimmers in their class. It's built like a tank and virtually silent.

This skimmer is all cleaned up and ready to go. These pictures were taken last night. It looks pretty much new.
Price is $600 which is a bargain for this skimmer.
PM me if you are interested. Pick up in Simi Valley

Is this good enough for a heavily stocked 150 gallon?

Scott, I wish! Think it'll be overkill for a 60 cube

Absoltely would be. It's rated up to 200 gallons and would be VERY consistent and perfect size wise on a heavily stocked 150 gallon display.

So tempting... what generation is it and are you able to remove the intake silencer and run it outside?

It's the current generation model. You don't need to remove the silencer to run a line outside. There is a red pvc stub in the top of the silencer that you can connect a hose to. If you wanted to remove the silencer you could do that too. The silencer snaps onto the wedge pipe and you could easily swap the silicone tubing from the pump for a longer tube and run it outside. That said, if I were going to run the airline outside, I would run larger diameter tubing outside and connect it directly to the top of silencer. That way you eliminate any restriction on the airflow with the larger diameter tubing and don't compromise the skimmer performance. It will also make servicing the skimmer easier since you can just pop the fresh air line off the top of the silencer.

Great deal for whoever bought this skimmer! I have the pump and some accessories for this skimmer if the buyer really need it.

You have a Mini 180 VS12 block on the pvc base? What exactly do you have? I may be able to help you move it if you are looking to sell them. We get requests for parts all the time. Feel free to PM me.
