Any interest in my Octopus HB 800S HOB skimmer?

This is the big Octopus HOB skimmer. Some of you may know the story with this skimmer. Out of the box the Sicce pump almost overpowers the skimmer body. The collection cup had to be all the way up, you needed to add an air valve and it generated a lot of micro bubbles. I cured this problem with two holes drilled between the intake and reaction chambers. I can now run the skimmer full open air and the mesh or pinwheel impeller. Both are included. The skimmer is now very stable and no micro bubbles. I guess it is about 3 months old.

I decided to add a sump so I went to a sump based skimmer.

Looking to get $150.

Do you have pics for this? Just getting a 125 started would this be ok?

It would work for a low or medium bio load but no HOB skimmer will work on a heavy bio load 125. In my opinion.
