For sale is my Reef Dynamics INS180E.
The body is 9 months old and the pump is almost new at 1 month old. No cracks, all parts included, in great working order.
This skimmer retails for $800, heck the pump alone is $300, and the wait is a few weeks, you rarely see these for sale used.
I'm looking for $500 for it. If you are looking for a big skimmer that everyone seems to love, save some money and buy this one. I am pretty sure that the warranty is transferrable, I'd have to check, I bet they would take care of you if you had any issues either way. Ask people about their customer service.
The fancy ehiem pump is quieter than the cheaper version, and it will last several years (instead of 1-2 like the cheaper version are said to). The pump has a custom made venturi and runs well and the pinwheel is also 1 month old (came with the new pump). The old pump was replaced due to concerns about stability, this one is rock solid, no burps.
The skimmer is heavy duty, I have never seen or handled a better made skimmer, PVC welds, heavy material, it is tough, and it will last ages. I have the manual and all of the materials that came with it.
Here is a photo of the skimmer in its shipping box. It is in terrific shape, no cracks, no blemishes. Some minor hazing from being in the sump.
