Thanks for the info. I know about the screen material, I've already built some. I guess I'm going to have to make a "notch" in the screen to get the...
Where did you get those grey clamps that you have holding the pvc pipe to the stand? Also, I am having to do an over the tank return,but will not be...
Is this so? That's what's being advertised. Bubble Magus BM-180A Protein Skimmer Brand New | eBay
Now I'm seeing that the new Super Reef Octopus with the Bubble Blaster pump is about the same dimensions as the Vertex/Aquamaxx for $50-$75 more.
Well the Aquamaxx 200's are back ordered until June, and I can't wait that long. Between the Aquamaxx 150 and the Vertex 180
I just researched the Aquamaxx you mentioned, seemed to get good reviews.
Well here is the official response from Coralvue: The dimensions you have are of the old models that can with the psk1500. The new dimensions for the...
The sump is set up as follows from left to right: fuge 12x14, return 12x17 and skimmer section 11x12. He had the drains running into the fuge section...

Well, now I'm looking at the SWC Xtreme 160 because the footprint is a lot smaller (9X7) than the Octopus (15X9.5) . To put the Octo Xtreme in my...
Actually, I have seen extreme's with the black lettering, but they are the older model without the gate valve. What's interesting is most places want...
I've seen them with black lettering and red lettering, are they the same skimmer? From what I could find, they have the same part number.
Decisions, decisions:confused: I'm looking at the Reef Octopus NWB-200 or octo extreme? Is the extreme worth the extra $75? I a setting up a 135gal...
Incest, that's funny. But you're right, maybe they ran out of SWC logo collection cup lids and thought what the hell, we'll just slap an Octopus lid...
Which is better? The Octopus is the 2009 style. The skimmer would be running on either a 40 breeder/20 sump or 58 tank/30 sump. I bought a SWC 150...
