Fission model 8102 by Current USA.
This unit is a HOB or in sump skimmer.
It has been a good skimmer for me and works really well. I got it used at the first of the year when i set my tank up. Since then i have expanded my water volume by going from a wet dry sump to a fuge as well as increasing my bio load. So i upgraded to a bigger unit. Im asking $50 plus shipping to where ever.

Foot print is about 7 1/2" x 6" and its 16 1/2" tall. It can sit at a slight angle because i had it in a 7" wide space in my sump. If you go with a HOB application it needs about 4" of clearance.

What size tank did you use this skimmer on? How long has it been used (by you and previous owner)?

It was used on a 75gal when i got it and my tank is a 55gal. I dont know the total age of it sorry, i got it in January. I have the owners manual i downloaded And i know they still sell replacement parts and pumps for it. It worked just fine i just got a smaller one to fit in my fuge so i would have room for my sock holder.
