Reef Octopus Bh2000

I'm a newbie but I chose to ask this question here as this forum is for equipment questions.

I'm interested in purchasing a hang-on skimmer and came across the Reef Octopus BH2000. The site reviews rated it as 4.7 out of 5.0 but for all I know the sales rep wrote the reviews.

Does anybody have any experience with this or a similar Reef Octopus skimmer? Any opinions?

Thanks.....Ken

What size tank?

Reef Octopus Skimmers are very good. I would believe the ratings you see.

it's more then enough for a 55g. Only complaint i have with it is it generates quite a few bubbles...I have yet to really try to solve the problem, but it does a good job skimming.
