SRO XP 2000 By JOHN on 4/17/13
JOHN would recommend this product to a friend
Very impressed with the build quality. The designs are all very similar...It's the pumps making the difference and I can say the included bubble blaster pump is fantastic. Worth the price. I would say it operates well for the price.

Product was packaged well and arrived quickly. Build quality is excellent and meets all of my expectations from the previous review that i have read. Assembly was easy and after break in the skimmer worked flawlessly.

This was my frist SRO skimmer, love it. Good build quality. It Pulls nasty stuff out and will stink up the basement. Love it so much that I've decided to get a second one for my other Reef Tank.

Works great on 135 mixed reef By Steve on 5/5/12
Steve would recommend this product to a friend
I've had my XP2000 for a little over a year now and have to say I am happy with it. Weekly maintenance cleaning and a vinegar bath every couple months have made this unit worry free. Even when I do clean the pump, there is barely any Calcium buildup on the inside. Starts up after every power cut and does a nice job skimming. I gave it a 4 for performance as I've never tried some of the high end 1k+ skimmers, but if you're in the 500.00 range this is a great skimmer.

I put this skimmer on a lightly stocked 120. I have to clean the cup every 3 days. This baby pulls thick nasty NOG like I've never seen in my 12 years of reefkeeping. VERY impressed with these skimmers and the bubble blaster pumps.

Pump started off loud which was my only concern. After two weeks, my XP2000 has quieted down and this skimmer has been pulling full cups of dry skim every few days.

Excellent skimmer for the money! By Jack on 3/8/11

I upgraded from a Colralife 125 Skimmer, which I thought was working. Not even close. The Octopus, by far does a much better job removing the "gunk" from the tank. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the noice level coming from the Bubble Blaster pump. Our tank is in the family room, and there is always a constant droan coming from under the tank. I've suspended the pump in the sump and it still makes noise. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the unit. I had a terrible Algea issue. This and the addition of the BRS dual GFO and some hard work, has finally got it under control.

This is my secnond octopus skimmer and I would have to say this skimmer does so good it even pulls out the same amount of a 1,000$ skimmer. The skimmer was def a great up grade from my old octopus.

I talked to a guy who has a $1,000 and he also has this skimmer and says they pull out the same amount of gunk, so that's saying something!! I'am so glade I got this crazy skimmer.

This is my second octo skimmer, love them. Good build quality. Have to soak in viniger to clean some of the hard to reach areas, but is a great skimmer. Pulls nasty stuff out and will stink up the apt. Best skimmer I have owned.
