    I'm looking at purchasing an Octopus HOB skimmer and I'm in between models BH-100, BH-100SS, and a BH-1000. Which one of these models would be the best fit for my 36g tank? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Go with the best if you can afford it, but honestly all the octos are great.

    I have the 800 classic and it pulls out heaps of crap every week. Very happy with this brand.
