I couldn't fit the octo in my sump, unfortunately. Had to go with a HOB

I'm just wondering what you're using now and how you like it, not being sarcastic or anything.

No problem...I didn't sense any sarcasm in your question.

I currently use a modded Octo NW200 on my 125. I think it's an awesome skimmer for the price. There's some pics of the skimmer in my build thread and here's a few pics of what my skimmer pulls out.

Yeah... The Prizm is one step above the SeaClone. Not a very good skimmer. I would not trust the reviews on the site that is selling them. Look for independent reviews on other sites instead.

Good advice. Hopefully it works out for me, we'll see
