    Reef Octopus Needle/Pin Wheel Protein Skimmer

    Thinking about getting a new skimmer. I have a nano skimmer on my 30 gallon that isn't quite cutting since i added a 20 gal sump. Anyone have any experience w/ this skimmer?? or a suggestion of a good skimmer under 200 dollars. have about 40-42 gallons of total water volume.

    Thanks!

    I've run 2 different models of the external skimmer and loved them. There is a Octopus 110 in the For Sale section also. The only issue with these skimmers are the pump use lots of watts. Could also look at the Bubble - Magus line at Nuocean - Bubble Magus
