HI.
This is a long shot but i have been trying to get hold of a protein skimmer thats not made anymore but cant even fine a second hand one anywhere online!!!!!!
Long story short im after the old CPR HOB aeroforce2, for some reason i just always wanted one wish i got one years ago when i had the chance lol!
Sorry to say its somthing about the way it looks just makes me obsessed, been in this hobby for years just love the way skimmers work! but for me its gotta look good and the skimmer im trying to find just ticks all the boxes yeah i know its sad but hey someone got to show skimmers some love right.
thanks in advance
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Like, 20 years ago I had two of the CPR HOB skimmers (I forget the exact models) and I don't believe they're as efficient as what's out there today. What's driving you towards the CPR; price, fictionality, nostalgia?

Good luck with whatever you chose!
 
Maybe try eBay. I’ve seen them there.
