    So i think i've decided on getting an Octo. I want to overfilter my tank, if this filter will fit in the space that the 46 bow, i think i may get it. What is your opinon on this skimmer?

    Several people here seem to like these skimmers. Maybe they will chime in. ;)
    Personally I was looking at the one that can be fed by overflows myself.

    I have the BH-1000, and love it. Not sure if this helps.

    i think i'm really liking the sounds of this skimmer. lol i don't know why but with reading the reviews online, which theres not much on it except horrible instructions and the breaking in period sucks, that seems to be the only negative part about this skimmer. LOL funny how after looking at tons of skimmers, asking tons of questions, there is just one skimmer that just seems right, right price, right size *barely small enough to fit on the side where the center brace is, and overall good reviews
