FS: Deltec APF600

[cham]

I've had this in my spare reef parts bin as a back up but need to make some room and I need some SPS and some LPS for the bare bottom of my tank.

The pump works perfectly and starts everytime, the acrylic fitting where the pump returns was cracked off of the skimmer body but it has been acrylic glued back into place.

This skimmer originally sold for $868 when it was new. I see two of them on Ebay for sale now (one at $350 that's the AP series and an APF at $400).

Skimmer data from Deltec:


The skimmer must be supplied with water either by gravity feed from the aquarium or via a separate pump.

Technical Data:

Can be stood either in or beside a sump or beside the aquarium.
Can be gravity or pump fed (supply pump not supplied).
Water throughput - 800 lts/hr, (178 UK gallons/hr).
450 litres of air/hr are produced at the venturi.

Dimensions:

L 280mm W 210mm H 610mm (allowing for removal of the cup)
Hard pipe connections - Supply - 20mm Return - 40mm
Flexible connection 16/20mm hosetail
Skimmer body - 125 mm diameter
Riser tube - 90 mm diameter

Stocking:

Normal Stocking 1000 lts (222 UK gallons)

Will sell for $200 but I prefer high end SPS or LPS.


I'll get pics up later.

Took it out of storage today and I didn't remember there are two fittings that have broken from the skimmer body, one fitting where the feed pump feeds the skimmer body and one where the water exits to the stand pipe. Both were broken when these giant meat paws (aka coral fragger hands) were cleaning the skimmer a number of years ago. One has been glued with acrylic glue and repaired, the bottom one has not.

Aquabee pump works great.
