Octopus HOB Skimmer

[messiah023]

Anyone have any experience? I read some good feedback on the forums and was interested. I like the fact that the pump is in the skimmer versus the tank (small tank with not much room).

Also, anyone ever SEE one of these for sale anywhere. I am having the hardest time finding one IN STOCK.

I know they are distributed in the US through Clear Vue wholesale, but most of the sites that carry them are backordered (with no eta) or just out of stock. :frustrat:

If anyone has a lead on one, let me know as well.

Thanks!

Thanks Stag, that's one of the places I found it on Backorder. They told me they weren't expecting any in, I was hoping someone knew of a LFS that may have them in stock where I can call. The model was BH-100F that I was looking at.
