    Euro Reef RS series..its an oldie..But it was working when I picked it up.
    $70.00...with pump and owners manual..He said he just replaced the pinwheel impeller last year.
    It will replace the CPR HOB ,the little engine that could.LOL ;D ....and it is a real nice fit for the new return /sump/fuge I just built...big things going on...woooowho !!8)
    Any thoughts or opinions?

    Thinking about this all night...changing out a return/sump/fuge and skimmer...plus a bit'o plumbing..touch'o paint...add a shut off valve to the return line...mix up at least 15 gallons of water..the reality is...this weekend will be merely preparation for another day this week.....go slow ...they say. ; )
    dang it.

    That is a score for $70. Those are great skimmers that are easy to adjust from what I've seen of them in action. I think you will be happy with that purchase.

    Thanx Matt..couple folks on the reef here have the newer models...but I dont see much change in basic functionality or performance..so the fact that they have been in the game for so long surely speaks volumes....
    ...and yes..70 bucks !! loooove it. 8)
    Cheers !
