and info:
Not sure about the model of the protein skimmer. what I do know is that it's capacity is for a 110 gallon tank. it rests on the backside of the tank and its in great working condition. Lights: Coralife (2) 65 watt power compact, 50/50 bulbs, with 2 lunar lights and fans built into the fixture. The other light: Sunpaq, retrofit, 65 watt powercompact. Emperor 400 Biowheel Power FIlter. Extras: Dual Coralife Power Center with the ability to control wave making devices, lunar lights, etc., glass versatop, Visatherm submersible heater, digital thermometer, magnafloat, modern series all glass brand stand, miscellaneous additives and food.

What kind of skimmer could this be?

Thanks for the help

I think it depends on the skimmer. If its a decent skimmer, its definitely worth it to me. No one to know what skimmer it is unless you ask them.

Thats what i was thinking.. Could i get a dwarf angel in a 37?
I'm going to email him back.

That looks like a good deal. Go for it if you can.

IMO its not a good deal, but if its a skimmer valued more than a few hundred i would take it

Not bad, if your willing to drive theres quite a few complete saltwater set ups for sale on Columbus Craigslist.

I don't think it is that great of a deal. I got my 75g with sump, 2 pumps (one was still brand new), stand, glass top, nets, live rock, light, heater, bulbs, and other odd and end things for $150. The only thing I have bought for setup was the salt.

Your money, your call... if you like it thats all that matters.

The skimmer is a D&D Marine Enterprises Skimmer for 110 gallons.

Im going to check out columbus craigslist thanks!

2 tanks from craigslist that im looking at:
[Only Registered Users Can See Links.] This one looks good but i'd hate to jump in..

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.] This one looks ok.. but would be easier to start.

Just tossing around ideas.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

both of those look good, i would get the first one though since that rock of GSP is wicked and it has halides

[Kyle]

I was looking at the first one you should get it :19:

[Cameron]

That will really be nice, IMO i think its a 30 gallon long, but who knows. I know quite a bit about SW so i think i might be able to get this to work, even though im starting with almost full stocking. With $400 being my budget i should be able to get a nice skimmer for it also. Will i need actinics also or are halides enough, i didn't do that much research with them cause i figured i cant afford them but this looks like a winner..

[cocoa_pleco]

halides alone are fine

[Cameron]

awesome, my dad said its ok as long as i pay for gas.. of course. Oh well i'm talking to the guy now. Whats the easiest way to transport everthing.. I know bags and coolers, live rock in buckets ok?

Also would i be able to add 2 clowns to it also?

[cocoa_pleco]

yep you could add a pair of clowns. also, the easiest way to transport it all is rubbermaid containers
