AquaEuro or octopus

razataz5 · 10/31/2009, 10:39 AM

Looking for a small skimmer for my 20l with 20g sump.
Help me choose octopus nwb 110 with bubble plate or a the aquaeuro classic 55 with bubble plate

I can't find any reviews on the aqua euro 55. Would the octopus be more then I need?

the octopus are awesome. I have an older ocotopus which is almost the exact same as the aquaeuro and im every happy with it.

octopus has more reliable (and updated pinwheeled) OTP-1000, AquaEuro has the same old unreliable resun needle wheel its always had. octopus has the updated semi cone transition, PS-55 still using the funnel neck (that octopus used on their previous NW line).

BTW the Aqua euro is just the older discontinued Octopus PS/TS-120 with resun pumps instead of octopus pumps. I think they pushed them off on aqua euro when they discontinued them.

discontinued octopus TS-120

latest aquaeuro PS55

and naturally the previous line of Octopus NW skimmers were just funnel neck AquaEuro skimmers with octopus pumps. aquaeuro and octopus are made in the same factory. pumps and updates are the only real difference between the two but octopus have more reliable (and updated pinwheeled) pumps.

Go with an octo. Aquaeuros have crap for pumps

Looks like I should go with the octo. I don't need something unreliable like a pump to worry abut.
