which skimmer......

[taba1986]

i'm having a battle in my head on which of these two skimmers to get. both are used btw.

reef octopus sro 2000 int for $200

or

reef octopus xo 2000 sss for $160

i have plenty of space so i can fit either or. i'm leaning towards the sss just because it's cheaper but if the performance is better on the sro i don't mind spending the extra $. all opinions are appreciated

thanks antonio

I have a regular XP 2000 and can't complain. Don't know much about the other model. I think either will be fine. How big a tank we talkin?

it's a 155. i'm thinking going with the sss just because it's $40 cheaper

You will be happy with either one

I had a 1000 sro on my 120 and it couldn't keep up. I don't think the 2000 will do well on a 160.

Just my opinion.

I have the 3000 sss and it works great. It is a tad noisy though. Plus I needed to frabricate a grate for the pump because my red banded trochus would go inside the pump.

thanks everyone i went with the sss since it was cheaper.

If it's anything like mine you may want to build a silencer for it makes a huge difference!
