Octopus PS-3000 Skimmer, any good?

Montreal Ray · 03/12/2010, 06:48 PM

Hey,

Anyone have any experience with the Octopus PS-3000 Skimmer? They claim its rated for 450G (heh!) so I figure it should be adequate for my 130-140G total volume.

Are they problematic...daily adjustments needed? Should I just opt for a better skimmer?

thanks,
Ray

I also have the opp. to pick up a used (VS brand new Octopus PS-3000) Vertex IN 180 for about $150 cheaper than a new one.

Do you think the Vertex IN 180 would be a better skimmer?
