I have this skimmer from maybe 15 years ago. I don't have the pump anymore for whatever reason. Is this worth putting money into or should I get a new skimmer?
The plumping for this skimmer seems to be metric? So I'm not sure if this is going to turn into a project or its an easy fix.
As of now I don't think spending more than $150 on this old skimmer is worth it. Not sure if I would have to spend that much, just saying. Need a pump, maybe some plumbing, and maybe replace the o-rings.
The skimmer is going on a 55 gallon most likely a sps dominate tank.
Any opinions is appreciated.
