    first off this skimmer is not made by MRC I had it custom made about 5 years ago buy a guy selling them on ebay however Its basically the same as a single becket MRC3  
    http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/pr...in-skimmer
    I am selling this because I bought a octopus XP5000 cone skimmer a yeear ago to handle my now larger water volume  and this skimmer has been in storage since then and I have now decided to sell it 
    the box on the skimmer did have a small leak which didn't affect it when I was useing it as a in sump skimmer  but i repaired it with acrylic glue and silicone when I decided to use it as an external skimmer 2 years ago 
    skimmer is made of 
    black ABS plastic
    clear acrylic tubes
    schedule 80 unions
    scedule 40 1 1/2" gate valve  and becket holders painted to match scedule 80
    comes with a spare becket head
    box is 7"X11 1/2"X6"
    first riser 6" OD 12" tall
    second riser 4" OD 8" tall
    it has no collection cup it has a forced head. skimate is forced into another container I used a gallon milk jug
    the reason for the forced head is to make it shorter so it would fit in my sump under my stand
    total height 28"
    I used a mag 18 as a feed pump (not included)
    this skimmer can easily handle 300-400gal
    new MRC 3 sells for $489
    I paid $450 for this about 5 years ago 
    asking $125 OBO  
    I dont have a digital camera so I cant post pics but if your really interested pm your cell number and I can text you a cell pic
    I can also bring this with me to spring fest
