New skimmer on its way!

I ended up going with the octopus 300f. Its the dual pump jobby with filtration and surface skimmer. If anyone has any input on this skimmer, I'd love to hear about your experiences!

Looks wicked anyways! How does everyone think it will hold up against my aqua c remora pro w/mag3?

Re: New skimmer on its way!

I don't have that skimmer myself.

Somebody had a thread with pictures awhile back.The Octopus in sump skimmers get great reviews but very few knew anything about their hang on models.The user considered and a few others consider it one of the better HOB skimmers on the market.
