Reef octopus v Diablo skimmers

[Incaico]

They look pretty much the same. Besides the name is there any real differences and if so what are they? Has anyone one owned both and willing to share their experiences?

If I'm not mistaken they are the same company. (Coralvue)

That's what I thought. I ended up buying the diablo 300 ext they have on sale. Has the same pump as the regal 300.

Same company they just keep changing the names of the skimmers. Diablo is the older name and the regal new.

There is a reef octopus skimmer which is called the classic and uses the aquatrance pump.

I ended up going with this skimmer. I think it is pretty close to the regal 300 ext at almost half the price. Has the same pump.

Same skimmer as the Regal. Except you got it at half the price.
