Im not familoiar with that brank but do a search for octupus or ASM skimmers, both are supposed to be good and cheapish..... trust me spend a little more on the skimmer and get it right from the start
Ive never had an octopus but heard they are great.

seaclone has been around most fish stores. i am not a big fan unless you mod it to death.
i would go with a coralife that is rated for a 65 gallon before i bought that one. i think thier around 80.

I had one seth and like said here before, unless you mod it to death it won't work.
i will go with something bigger. if you are going for a 75g tank go for a skimmer rated for 100g or more.
Me personaly with my new tank im going with coralife 125 for the system that will be 85g in total.

I recently bought an octopus skimmer nw 150 from Premiumaquatics.com, 160$ shipped, and i must say after a simple mesh mod(i can hook u up w/ the enkemat), it destroys my old ER. which was double the cost and the pump took a crap on me, yes the sedra pump, which was meticulously maintained. anyways i am overly pleased w/ my octo, its still breaking in, but everyday it just looks better and better. its really a great buy.
p.s. it is made out of cell cast acrylic, unlike the asms. which i do like.

I think Seth is giving the no to the coralife. ?
IMHO the quality of the Octo over the Coralife is pretty significant. I was very pleased w/ its construction esp have a ER to compare it right next to.ThunderousTalon

check that thread out specifically that page as well as page 33(the next page) theres a couple videos of how well it performs, esp w/ such a cheap/easy modification. On page 33 theres a pic of how well it performs w/o the mod. Its an octo mod thread specifically. but those two pages are highlights of the skimmer and an idea of what they can do.
