    I myself am also looking at the ev180, plus if u decide so get this w/ it. Helps w/ easy maintance

    Auto Waste Collector

    Be carefull w/ the Mag supposedly the screws that hold it together r prone to get rusted (contamination) so keep the pump well maintained.

    If I want a hang-on-back skimmer, would anyone recommend the Reef Octopus BH-100?

    Thank you, pgoodsell and tst400. Karma to you both! I'm going to check dimensions (and my bank account) and make a decision.
