    Looking for info/opinions on this skimmer. I'm looking for something for my 55g reef, no sps, just softies and a few lps. Any input would be great!

    You won't be disappointed with it. It is a great little unit.

    From what I heard, although the unit is great, the instructions on putting it together and getting it going suck. I may need some help from you guys!

    Instructions... instructions. That is one of the biggest downfalls to octopus skimmers. In general they are the best bang for the buck and work well, but there is no instruction sheet, just a parts diagram to help you put them together. But they are not hard to put together......
