Ordered the Xtreme 200 octo...hope it works

[cmersman]

I just ordered the xtreme 200 octo..lets hope it works like people say the other octopus skimmers work. Hopefully it ships soon so we can get a review of it on here....345 shipped I didn't think was too bad.

20bux shipping, thats pretty good imo. I have the hot 300 extreme coming my way. It'll go up against the rogue. Should be interesting.

what size tank will you be running it on?

[cmersman]

225 softie reef.. lightly stocked with 3 tangs and two percs. I also am going to run a euro reef cs100. Do you think the second skimmer is necessary. I may try some SPS in the near future.

Luke...

I see you are quite familar with skimmers..whats your opinion on the 2 skimmers together?

I ordered the 250 tonight. It's going on a 125 with ~30g sump. And if I know my wife (which I do), she's gonna want the tank fully stocked.

Get what you want to start with and you only cry once.

Its not going to hurt anything but you aren't going to need the other. The octo should be fine by itself.

what size is the X300 (i believe it's come with 3 pump).

I might get the 250 for a 220g if i see these skimmers are good

IMO they will perform close to the ATI skimmer and the price of those skimmer affordable to everyone.... a lot of ppl will have the chance to get a good skimmer in low price .

Any one hearing any Size ratings yet?? I would think the 160 If it is pulling 22 lpm should handle a couple hundred gallons or so. The 250 I believe has at least two pumps. that thing should be a beast of a thing.

[luke33]

Well, they are the same as the bm's, 160g, 200g, 250g. The thing i'm wondering about is they all have the same pump's which produce 22-24lpm so is the 160 the same output as the 200 air wise?

Magvi, the 300 is a hot skimmer, not the 3pump. Geez a 3 pump sicce, that would be 150scfh! WOW, I wish i had a tank large enough to need that.

I tried e-mailing Rob at marine solutios but I have yet to get aa answer.
