Fs: Alpha 250

[Dave's Reef]

Hey guys,

Looking to sell my Alpha 250. It is without a doubt the best and quietest skimmer I have ever had the pleasure of using. It's just had a vinegar and water bath and is all cleaned up and ready for a new home.

This thing retails for about $1200-$1250 so I'd like to get $850 or best reasonable offer. Due to the size I will only be able to do local cash and carry sales. It's too big and I don't have have the original packaging so I'm not about to try and ship this thing.

Amazing deal on a top performing skimmer guys. This thing is NO JOKE!

 

[Dave's Reef]

Ok guys, now that the Labor Day weekend is over let's get this fine piece of equipment out of here! Accepting all reasonable offers and really need to SELL!!!

 

[Dave's Reef]

Hmm... A price drop today to $775 or best reasonable offer, lets see if this stimulates some interest. This thing truly is a thing of beauty and performs flawlessly, one seriously bad a*# skimmer!!!

Also, I had gotten a pm about trading for some other equipment. I'm actually getting out of the hobby so this will have to be strictly cash.

Thanks

Ok guys, I know times are tough and I appreciate that so in recognition of this I'll drop it to $675 obo. That's about 50% off retail and I know you wont find a better deal than that on this skimmer. Really need this thing gone, getting a lot of flack about all my reef stuff that's taking up space.

Thanks

Don't have the original packaging to ship it with. This thing is big and would be very costly to ship properly.
