Agreed. Take the lights, leave the rest. Whatever two month old power head she's selling, you'd be better off new. Maybe a couple of Koralias?

Sounds like an awesome price for a lighting system. Def pick it up if it is but I would spend a couple extra bucks and get a new protein skimmer, especially if she took care of it poorly she may have destroyed the o ring and it can leak then you would have to replace that and its just a hassle when you can buy a new and better one!

ditto on all the above i personally own that skimmer and it is finnicky, it works but its just alright, the lights are a great buy and as for the rest it depends on what kind of zoas they are and kenya trees spread like wildfire so i doubt those two frags would be worth much
