I think this is a good price do you think this skimmer is worth 60$

I would get a shipping quote from the seller, as it is going to ship from Perth, Western Australia, Australia. There could be import fees and or anything else so make sure of the shipping charge then decide if it is worth it. JME

 

[Nathan4Wvu]

It says free shipping to any whre in the world

 

[mcox33]

Actually it says free shipping Austrailia wide. So that is only if you are shipping it to austrailia. Better check the shipping

Click on ask seller a question. See if they will do a total purchase price including shipping for you.

lol

It lists free shipping worldwide, but through the auction it says AUSTRALIAWIDE, & in the shipping details below it says its only available in Australia, then right below that states "worldwide" again.

Ebay sucks!!!! *throws stones*

I send the seller an email and he has yet to respond so who knows but these items are listed all the time so it will still be there after this action closes

Come on now, E-bay does'nt suck, it's just some of the sellers on it that do.

I have been going through a phase of late.... Ebay isnt really the problem, its the crappy vendors who triple their profit with hideously unfair prices on shipping. Always hurts to get burnt by that.

 

[Nathan4Wvu]

I HATE THAT It PI%S#$ me off the item for auction is like 10.00$ and you know it only weighs like 2-3lb and they change like 45.00$ for standard flat rate shipping i hate it its so fing stuiped i would buy so much more stuff if they didn't do that they are shooting themselves in the foot

Another thing to consider is the time it will take to get here. I once ordered a book on saltwater reefs. I came from Canada and though the shipping wasn't bad (cost wise) it took over two months to arrive after they sent the shipping information. It seems the mail system isn't the same in other countries as it is here. They use the old pony system or something (LOL) Just seems that snail mail is more of a reality that a joke.

JME.

That looks to me, to be a Won Brothers skimmer. Something like the "125 gallon" size. I can include that on the GB for $62. I don't know anything about them but it is supposed to be a downdraft. You'll need a pump to drive it as well.

You can see a couple other models they make as well here:

What would this one be with the Ocean Runner 3500 http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=493

and would you recommend it for a 90 sps dominant tank or should I get something else. Like a asm or g4

I bought this one http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=482 used on ebay for $40 including shipping, and bought the oc2700 for $70, use it on my 120gal and I couldnt be more pleased with it. My tank looks so crystal clear and I empty junk everyday out of it. I also use a powerjet 1200 to pump the water through.
