A great skimmer so far.

I've been using it for 7 days. I have 72 gallons with a 20 gallon sump. It's definitely more than I expected (I've never run a full-size skimmer before), but this thing has already pulled out half a cup (a 32-ounce drip cup?) of the skimmer. My corals definitely seem happier even though one of my lights went out last week. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Almost never

Great skimmer at Fish & Aquatic Pets

I did a lot of research before purchasing the skimmer. He was always called a good budget skimmer. I had him for a day. It's easy to assemble and easy to set up and just one day in the collection cup gives a heap of nasty junk, he says he needs a 3 week break in time, I hope he only gets better after that, and that thing is quite nice! glad i bought this one!

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Periodicity

Absolutely the best bang for the buck

you're saying it right. You get what you pay for. If you are considering a protein skimmer for your aquarium, be sure to consider the reef octopus. I bought it based on the reviews I read about poor quality products that leak, make noise etc. This unit is rock solid and very well built. I was appalled at the amount of junk that was in my tank for the first few days of using this device. You will not be disappointed if you buy the best.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Sump water depth: 6 " to 8 "

I did some research on this product on the CoralVue website prior to purchasing it which says the sump depth should be 6" to 8" which is perfect for me . However, the instructions in the box state that the depth of the pallet should be between 7.9 and 8.7 inches. I contacted CoralVue to find out which one is correct. range from 6 to 8 inches. I'll update this review after I actually get a chance to use the product, but thought it was worth sharing this information with potential buyers.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Secret

This block is very easy to set up and worked very quickly

This block is very easy to set up and worked very quickly. I have a 70 liter aquarium and a 40 liter tank. Before that I didn't have a protein skimmer so my aquarium was a bit dirty. My fish were happy but there was a lot of green (I think algae) on the walls of the sump and where my downcomer was there was a lot of dark brown and green scum. I installed this and after the first day I had a good skimmate. I have a septic tank in the basement and lots of space. Some people with a sump in the…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • there are problems
