    Looking to get a new protein skimmer...
    Is there anyone with experience with this brand (Reef octopus)?
    And if so which one should I go with (BH1000 or BH90), I have a 36 gallon FOWLR tank that is cycled. Have 2 clowns and a scopas tang so far.

    OR, is there a better skimmer in the same price range ($200)

    I have used a bh1000,it is a very good hob unit.I chose it over the bh90 because it appeared to be less conspicuous when mounted on the tank.I used the bh1000 for three months and it worked very well on my 40b but I then decided to install a sump so I am selling it for $100.You can pm me if interested.
