SWC 160 with new Atman PH2500?

[rknott]

Looking for some feedback so this newbie doesn't waste his money.

Goal is a SILENT skimmer for my 75G w/30G sump

Thinking about purchasing used 2+ years old SWC 160 with new Atman PH2500 pump for $150.

Other considerations:
* New Simplicity 120DC for $200
* Reef Octo. Many appropriate options, this appears to be the benchmark for quiet. Are the others in this list close?

I had trouble finding parts and replacing the Atman pump on the Bubble Magus calcium reactor I bought used. I ending up having to convert the metric plumbing to standard and replacing the pump. I would look into how easy it is to find parts and replace in case you needed to.

I wondered about that. I didn't see any parts or that model for sale now. Not worth it if that is the case. Thanks for the tip.
