Hey party people. I need a skimmer for my 90g tank. What have you got? Show me please. Keep in mind I am poor. Under $200. Or I can trade you stuffs from AquaticLife like RO units or even LEDs bla bla bla. Or maybe someone like [MENTION=654]lowbudget[/MENTION] will just give me something awesome?

Bring me a rodi membrane and I'll give u a bubble magus skimmer for ur 90 gallon in return haha.. I have a feeling the membrane is clogged. It's only making about 150GPD.

I have an aquamaxx em200. The impeller is busted. You can have it for free just buy new impeller ($70) or new pump ($120). LMK.

I have a Reef Octopus 110INT, only used for about 3 months total. Works perfect (could use a quick vinegar soak, I just rinsed it when I took it out) but I won a different skimmer at the SFVR meet and don't need the RO anymore. $80. (I live in BFE but could meet in El Segundo during the week.)

Have you seen any thing in the membrane? Open up the flush valve and run it for a while. That will clear anything out. Also make sure the cartridges are left to right pre filter, GAC and then Carbon block. Is the pressure gauge still showing the same pressure? Are you still getting the same ratio on waste versus filtered you were getting a few weeks ago? Last thing to check is you haven't left the flush valve open right?

And those membranes are expensive :)

[MENTION=3562]lurking[/MENTION], are you interested in the 110INT? If not it's [MENTION=6103]Rrocky[/MENTION]'s, especially since he's so close :D

You mentioned Sanh and "Protein Skimmer" in the same thread so you should be all set right?

Sorry for the thread jack but, do you like the RO 110? I was thinking of getting the bigger one for my frag tank.

Yeah, it was great! If I hadn't won the Aquamaxx I'd still be using it. The Aquamaxx just fits my sump better since I have a massive gate valve on my drain.
