Excellent Skimmer By Steve on 3/7/12
Steve would recommend this product to a friend
This skimmer performs well for the price. some 'tinkering' is necessary with water level depending upon your skimming preferences, but i found the gate valve easy to adjust and the recommending operating water levels to be ideal for my sump. I use it on a 90 gallon mixed reef with 30 gallon sump. Lot's of gunk!

Excellent By Glen on 2/6/12

This skimmer supplements an SWC 160 cone, that replaced a bubble magus. Running side by side, the SWC (with the crappy atman 2500) tends to create many more fine bubbles than the Octopus, but oddly enough, the Octopus pulls more gunk. So I have them set up to fill the collection cups more or less equally, and the skimmate from the SWC is much thinner and clearer than the gunk from the Octo. This is only one week in, and nowhere near the 3-4 week 'breakin period' being over. So all in all, a fantastic skimmer for the price!!

Super Skimmer By Andrew on 1/21/12

Plug and play is a great feature of this skimmer. Once it breaks in it skims hard. Sucking out way more waste than my old one. Great product

Reef Octopus makes the best skimmer for your money hands down.

Awesome product & value By Patrick on 11/11/11

For the money, this big guy is hard to beat.
Mine came with my tank used (supposedly ~1yr old) but it runs like a champ.
Easy to adjust, but as another reviewer said "set it & forget it". Cup is easily removed for cleaning.
Well built all around unit. Would buy an identical unit if mine died today.

Amazing! Very strong Product! By stephen on 10/8/11
stephen would recommend this product to a friend
Hi everyone! I purchased this Skimmer knowing the Brand name as a Amazing performing product 1st off, and second, my Mother has the HOB on her Fowlr and have seen what it can do! This Skimmer has been running on my 90g Mixed Reef Aquarium for......close to 28 hours now and is ( I didn't even believe it would ) already producing more skimmate than my previous one! I have been told by many it can take from 1-4 weeks to even get it dialed in and skimming. My 2 eyes don't lie, and have seen already (not even 3 days yet) seen what this Skimmer is capable of + so much more! A HUGE THUMBS UP TO REEF OCTOPUS, AND BRS! : )

So Far So Good , & BIG! By Daniel on 9/13/11
Daniel would recommend this product to a friend
First off i wanna say , i've only owned my skimmer for about 2 weeks. And i bought this for my 75 gallon reef tank. Here's what i know about it now. Its seems to be made well. Easy to install ( as long as you have a big enough sump). With that said, In my opinion your sump needs to be about 12" wide, With a water height of At least 6". To me this thing is huge. Way bigger than i thought. Keep in mind i dont work for reef octopus , so if your any where close to those numbers check with them. Skims well after one day of warming up. Overall great product, also BRS is awesome to! Keep those demo videos coming , how great would it be to have a video for every single product on the site!

works good, has restart issues By richard on 8/27/11
richard wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
This skimmer works great and is a great value. i will say that for some reason if i unplug it, or the power goes out i have to blow in the air inlet tube to get it to start working again, i am unsure why this happens but other than that great valued skimmer
