FS: Octopus NW 200 (Buffalo)

[cardiffgiant]

I'm thinking about upgrading to a larger skimmer. Let me know if anyone is interested in my Octopus NW 200. It's the older style and performs very well. I have both the original needle wheel and the new pinwheel impellers for it.

I'd like to get $150 for it. I'll get pictures of it up this weekend.

Whats the Footprint for the older model?? Is it the same as the newer ones (15.6 x 10.25 x 23.75)??

Thanks.

11x16x24 is similar to what I've seen quoted on some sites. It sounds about right, but I'll measure when I take pics. This fits in my 75g sump no problem, but I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to fit this in a sump under a tank.

Hey guys, I've added my new skimmer and my old one is cleaned up and ready to go. The new price is $120. Please PM if interested.

The good:
-Absolutely no cracks, no missing plumbing, all threads in great shape
-OTP-3000 pump (750 GPH) is rock solid and very easy to maintain
-Comes with both the needle wheel and the pinwheel impellers. The pinwheel impeller is a $30-40 part. Personally, I've been happier with the production from the needle wheel impeller.


The bad:
-Missing the air muffler
-The stand pipe has always been a little loose, but I've never had a problem skimming wet by getting it to stay up near the neck
