Short Video of Reef Octopus xs-350 Skimmer in action

Have not found any reviews on this skimmer so here is my attempt.

First off this thing is a Monster, well built. I hope it skim's as well as it is in the Brute can.

Too breaking-in the new skimmer. Placed it in a 44 gallon Brute trash can. Have been pouring old Skimmate in their. Hope this helps speed up the process? Have a Sump just for the skimmer on the way. will keep this updated.

PS don't laugh at the music kids thought it was funny.

Its a bit much for a 120 don't you think? You're going to need some more fish

Ya, a little on the large size it's 500 gallons total (lots of room for more fish). Here are a few pictures of DT and sump room.

It seemed to skim awesome but to be honest didn't keep it long. Downgraded.
