Thanks vinn
 
i was just about to order the Super Reef Octopus XP 1000SSS CONE Protein Skimmer. let us know how this one works. i may change my mind.
 
I will take pic and post them. Keep in mind. My tank is pretty light stock and has been skimmed with x large skimmer so I don't exspect it to pull anything crazy cause I just don't think it is in the water to pull but will keep u posted
 
Ok so ran into a customer service issue and great service so far. Agreed to send a new peice to replace paert. Super fast return contact!!!
 
My update really is put on hold. When I got the cup to start filling up with waste I notied a drip from the cup. The collection cup was crackeed. The only update that I have is customer service was got and sending out a new cup, but still no cup sad face.

It seems to be working well.the skimmate is thin but a nice black color. The only issue that I have had was the skimmerr cut leaked. They sent a replacement ans same result it leaked to. Looks like just not enough acrylic glue on the joints, so I just put my own glue on it to seal it. Now it just dosnt look as good as factory so hoping they send a factory sealed cup.

I will take a pic of the. Skim tomorrow.

2 things I'm very happy with. Super easy to dial it in and it stays same water level very. Easy even w new socks and slight changes in water height in sump
 
Ok so this thing is working good. It is removing much less liqquid then my larger skimmer I had but the stuff it is removing is black where as the other skimmer removed a brown skimate. I don't know what that means but so far I'm happy with it. Other then I needed to fix the skimmer cup my self with super glue to seal it since the replacement cup they sent leaked also. So it looks like sh*t. Hope they end up sending one that dosnt leak will luk.
