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.
 
have the css 65 on a 35 gallon tank. I like it ,skimmate everyday! the only thing i do not like is the microbubbles. tryng to figure out how to stop them.
 
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.
 
I agree to go with Octopus if you can.

That being said, the CSS is a very affordable skimmer that does the job. However, a lot of people have problems breaking it in and with it flooding.
