I was told that this was a protein skimmer used for saltwater tanks. I'm freshwater only and know nothing about it. It came with a tank I purchased that the guy was going to convert to SW. This is a picture of it, I'd like to get rid of it but I don't know it's value or if it is missing anything. I know that there is a little piece that has broken off that my husband says he has. I don't know if it can be apoxied back on. The top of the skimmer says MTC, I went to their website and this picture is similar to the model HSA-250. Can anyone help with some information on this? thanks! :)

Scroll down on the following page to get a rough estimate of the retail value: http://www.aquatictech.com/protein_skimmers.htm

It's basically a beckett-style injector skimmer, which are falling out of favor relatively quickly here in recent years. Most of the new skimmers are capable of injecting similar amounts of air for substantially less power consumption and pump requirements. Keep that in mind for the pricing.
