Super Reef Octopus XP 2000 - Anyone have it yet?

bryman · 09/30/2009, 10:24 PM

I have a 90G Tech build in progress, and this skimmer looks like it might be a really good candidate for my setup. Anyone know if they are shipping yet, or have any experience or thoughts on this skimmer? Thanks!

They started shipping 9/30. I will just have to look at mine until I get enough money to get the rest of my stuff

Im interested in this cone skimmer... would the performance be similar to a octopus extreme 160 or a pinwheel 150?

No, it should be a lot better.

Bump for any news?

Whats the deal with these things. Everyone that has one isn't hooking it up : ) I want to see if the manufacturer #'s are true.

Any pics from those who have it? I saw somewhere it was going to come with a gate valve instead of the sliding tube. Thanks.

There are pics up on premium aquatics sponsor forum and reef specialty. It has a gate valve.

Same, but has a red sticker.
