What is everyones thought on this skimmer?

not worth the money

A much better skimmer are the reef octopus skimmers

I picked this one up ( its on back order though, but they expect it by today or tomorrow )

Cheapest location for the Octopus XP1000 Space Saver $295. They are cheaper than Amazon for same skimmer and offer free shipping. I can't tell you how it works because I have not gotten it yet :D but everything I read about it was very positive.

I own this exact skimmer and a Reef Octopus Extreme 250 and yes the Reef Octopus is on a different level but.....

The Coralife worked well for my 80Gal but again if you have the dough go with a Reef Octopus.

I ran the older version of the CSS 125 on my 75 and was satisfied with it.The new version seems to be more effective,but that's on customers words through the LFS.I've not ran one myself.

While there are better skimmers out there,the Corallife's are a decent skimmer for the price.
