new skimmer

super reef octo xp 2000
two days of break in, one feeding. running wet, as they suggest during a 3-4 week break in period.


anyone want an external skimmer, pls contact me. it was too big for my system, rated at 400 gals, bullet 3 by precision marine $ 200, originally from shawn. pics available

that skimmer is a beast. mine pulls out some funkey stuff.

Looks like that thing is 5X better than the other one you got paul.

i think the old one was way too strong for my light bioload. it was rated for a 400 gal tank. btw, here’s a pic of my DI resin after all that time, since i got it from buckeye. STILL less than half used up.

Eventhough your old skimmer may be rated at 400 gal, but it didn’t seem to produce as much gunk as your new OCTO 2000. I see what you mean about that di resin. I’ve move up to the big boy ro/di unit now and it’s working very well. I took your advice about it.

wow that is good your other one seemed great i wish i could use it

Congrats on joining the cone club Paul :stuck_out_tongue:
