Re: is this a good skimmer
I have not tried them but have read and told by other reefers that the octopuss are very nice skimmers and at a good price. I have the CSS125 in my sump and am not very impressed, however, it could be because I have a very low bioload.

Re: is this a good skimmer
I have one and once you get it working right it's great. I use it in sump. Collects a lot of crap.

Re: is this a good skimmer
If you didn't buy it yet, don't. You can get a skimmer 100x better for only a few $ more. The CSS 125 is around $175 and you can buy an Octopus NW 200 for $199. The Octo will blow it away in performance.
