Looking to upgrade my skimmer for future tank inhabitants so I just wanted to see what all of you think. I have a Vertex Alpha 170 Royal-Exclusiv edition with original Red Dragon pump. I believe to be the second owner of this skimmer and I have used it for about 5 months now. Skimmer body and pump were recently taken apart and cleaned for regular maintenance. No cracks anywhere but the skimmer body seems to have some fine scratches from cleaning. Those scratches are only noticeable when the body is completely dry. Both hoses are in perfect condition along with the skimmer cup. The top of the skimmer cup cap has some scratches as shown on the pictures below. The Red Dragon pump impeller is in immaculate condition. Magnet has no signs of warp. fade, or cracking. Impeller wheel has no cracks or breaks. All in all, the skimmer is in great condition. The only thing that is better than its condition, is its ability to skim. This thing is a BEAST! But enough writing. Ill let the pictures speak for themselves. Looking to get $600. Thank you for looking.
After one week of skimming
Black Sludge EVERY time I do my weekly maintenance
Looks Brand new
Scratches on the skimmers cup cap
Skimmer is still hooked up to my tank as you can see. If sold the buyer would receive the item after installation of new skimmer which I'm hoping to get very soon. Thank you again for looking.
