    Hey otty, yeah it has a collection cup...its buried in the styrofoam, just snapped a quick pic.....Its rated upto a 800 gallon tank and ive read awesome reviews about it. its a reeflo orca 250, tried to take a pic of with next to a can of pop but its not going thru my email. Its about 2 feet tall with out skimmer cup and diameter is about as round as a basketball, i estimate it holds around 10 gallons when its running.

    A dart pump runs it also, I bought a hammer head to replace old pump and another dart to feed skimmer, refugium, uv, phosban, and carbon reactor. Hammerhead will be strictly for return for the tank upstairs.
