Rated up to 70g tanks. Here is the instruction manual : http://www.aquacave.com/Manuals/CORALVUE-BH100F-Instructions.pdf

Yes, Pokerfish, this is a great skimmer. It works perfect and doesn't leak at all. You probably have a small crack in yours from the drop like you stated. I think you can buy replacement parts from Coralvue.

I have a 1 year old Octopus BH-100F hang-on-back skimmer. All pieces are included and in perfect working order. The skimmer is even in nice, clean, shape. I upgraded when I got my sump. Information can be found here : Reef Octopus BH 100F Hang on Back Protein Skimmer with Filter System -...

Not sure why there are (2) different / similar models. I looked at the XS and this is what I see different : 1.) The XS uses a gate valve on the skimmer output. The regular 160 does not use this type of valve. To adjust the skimmer internal water level, the output pipe can be turned either...

Yeah, the culligan water is not RO/DI to my knowledge. I think its a conversion for drinking water and not via reverse osmosis. You are probably lighting for too long. If you don't have any photosynthetic corals, you don't need lights at all....we just have the lights to view the fish. You...

I've had two Octos and highly recommend them. Right now on my 65g I run the Extreme 160. So far no issues, works great and comes with the Sicce pump. Reef Octopus Extreme 160 Protein Skimmer by CoralVue* - AquaCave As Biff said, upgrade the skimmer and dump the power filters.

How's the water quality going into the tank? RO/DI? How long is your light cycle (not a Star Wars reference). I have a 7-8 hour light ON cycle and feed my tank about 3 times a week. Also, you may not have enough in the ways of a cleanup crew. Make sure you have enough snails & crabs in there...

Ocellaris is what you mostly find in pet stores. The main difference is mature size, perc will be a tad smaller. The Ocellaris will have a taller dorsal fin in comparison to the percs...also, coloration. Percs will have more back between the color stripings.

Skip the can and go for the sump. They look intimidating, however, they are actually super easy. Set 'em up and forget about them for the most part. They are self sufficient whereas the canister needs to be cleaned often (or else it becomes a haven for nitrate buildup). You should start off...

No problem, glad it worked out. The design is great! I think Dennis did a great job on the design.
