Hi,
I am selling a barely used/excellent condition Bubble Magus Curve 5 Elite protein skimmer. It's been running great on my Waterbox 60.2 but can handle ~100g tank. I'm only selling because I got a great deal on a Bubble King. The Curve 5 Elite has been producing very predictably at 8.75" sump level, but I have a small platform to include with it if you have a deeper sump. It will also run fine with less water. Very simple adjustment and is very quiet. I have it in my office and am quite particular about minimizing sound while I'm working; very satisfied with performance and noise level. This is <1 year old. Excellent build quality/thick plastic. I've had a ton of different skimmers over the years and this is a great value and performance model at this price point.
$175 shipped lower-48 ****SOLD****
Info from BRS ($249 new):
The Bubble Magus Elite Series are value-packed skimmers with approachable setup and tuning, high quality materials, and excellent skimming performance. The Elite skimmers include welcome features such as the geared water-level adjustment knob for precise water level control, and a skimmer body that completely disassembles for thorough cleaning when it comes time for maintenance. Sicce skimmer pumps are famous for their reliability and quiet operation, and are a great addition to this skimmer design. The collection cup is easy to remove for cleaning, and also includes a built-in drain port for connection to a larger collection reservoir if you want to extend maintenance intervals. The combination of thoughtful design and quality materials makes the Elite a competitive and high-value skimmer option.

I just cleaned the cup for the pic. I can send another pic with skimmate if you're curious. My new skimmer arrives in a couple days so I plan to run this until it arrives. I will clean well before shipping!
