    Let us know how you like it. I'm looking into a cone- the Eshopps looks good as well as this one. Very cool.

    The Eshopps looks decent but I would be surprised if it performs as well as it looks... I would go with the CV one before the Eshopps for sure....

    Here I present you the first end user pics of the super reef octopus xp-2000 [​IMG]

    Full view of completely assmbled skimmer
    [​IMG]

    Enormous bubble blaster pump which is the size of my return pump :)
    [​IMG]

    clear volute ;)

    bubble plate.

    enormous collection cup.
    [​IMG]

    To my quick rough estimates the footprint is smaller than advertised. advertised at 12.5x12 and I measured 12x10 roughly.

    all in all it gets [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG] out of the box.

    I was psyched when I first saw this skimmer and it hasnt let me down with its presence in person.

    I know everybody wants me to set this up right away but im off to wisconsin tonight for some fourwheeling and good old fun. So wont be able to get this bad boy dirty til monday night. This came earlier than expected. I wasnt expecting a delivery til monday. Will be off 3reef the rest of the weekend and will answers anybodys questions when I get back sunday late evening. Hope the pics settled down the anxiousness ;)
