Reef Octopus Skimmers

[mockery]

Anyone use or know anything about the reef octopus skimmer? I'm looking at the Reef Octopus DNW 110 Recirculating Protein Skimmer. Or is there a better one? The total system volume is about 80 gallons. Let me know what ya'll think
Thanks

I used one for over a year with good results. My only issue was that you had to clean the pump to eliminate deposits or it could seize up and then burn out. I was also dosing heavily at the time and was impatient with it so I'd sometime throw the Ca and Alk additives in at the same time in different regions of the sump. Let me tell you... that does not work well . I ended up getting caco3 deposits on everything important... Which of course hastened the pump on the octopus seizing up.

Pm sent.
