IMO it doesn't look well designed. I know sometimes anything cheap on ebay is a piece.... I would look at the Octopus Line they are well design and pretty good at price depending on your budget...

I need a Protein Skimmer for my 75. Right now, i'm using a PSK-100H thats hanging on the sump. The PSK-100H is a nice skimmer, but i need something bigger. If I had the money right now, I would buy a Octopus Extreme 200.

I may have deal for you on a used MSX 160 which pretty much the same as an Octopus Extreme 160. PM me if interested.

At this price its a good deal, BUT at 100 bucks there are probly better used skimmers for the money.

Would it be ok for 75?

 

[Whaledriver]

It has a nice size reaction chamber tube. Its probly worth it but be sure to add in shipping. I am not familiar with the design so....?
Even a average bigger skimmer is better than a small POS

After reading the seller ebay Feedback, alot of them sell for $40. The Shipping is $15.

vertex skimmers are reasonable and stronger than octopus from my experience,check out the dry good selling on RC or euro reefs ps

I'm a big fan of Vertex skimmers...

The link that you posted for e bay is kind of a crappy skimmer... Current makes some acceptable Nanos and Lighting, but their skimmers have always been junk...

I ran that skimmer for a few years. It works OK for the money. I modded mine by mesh modding the wheel and cutting down the riser tube about 1/4 inch. It works best if you get the pump under water as its a bit noisy.
