Thanks for the update. I needed something that does not require a sump.

Only hob skimmer capable of skimming a 125 is probably going to be the reef octopus lx2000s but it's pricey at almost $500. For that price I'd add a sump.

I happen to have this very skimmer sitting in a vinagar bath as I type. I used it roughly for 6 months will I was in between homes and didn't feel like setting up a sump. It has been sitting in the garage for a few years but it's almost new. If interested shoot me a pm. I'm currently at work and don't get home till 11pm pacific time so I won't have any pics available till tomorrow once I remove it from the soak and get it cleaned up.

The skimmer in my post does not require a sump.
