Possible Skimmer Upgrade?

[oneradtek202]

so i was wondering what everyone thought of the octopus xp-3000 external model. or 2000. i need a better skimmer since i think mine is now under rated for my system... any others i should consider?

Following along Brandon! I will have around a 2 to 250g system and def need a good skimmer.

What are you currently running and what's your livestock looking like?
I don't have an Octopus Skimmer but I know LOTS of people that swear by them.

currently SPS Dominated 100 gallon display. 4 anthias 1 purple tang and 6 other small fish. i have a 55 gallon sump, a 10 gallon refug , and a 40 gallon frag tank. i currently run a octopus nwb2000 i believe.

It'd get my vote. Love my octo.

Whats your total volume Cully? Just out of curiosity.

Well sounds like you have a decent bio-load and for the SPS it might be a good idea to bump up a size but then again the recommendations for a Octopus nwb 200 is 250 gallons so you might just be fine if you don't see anything like algae blooms or high A,N,N.
