I can't wait to fire up my RS250, poor thing has been sitting out in the shed for a couple of months now
It must be lonely out there all by itself in the dark.
Alternatively I would have liked to try out one of the ReefFlo Orca skimmers, I was looking at the 250 which is rated for 200-800 gallons. But its external and that kind of freaks me out a bit. The Octopus Extreme 250 is an in sump model, has gotten good reviews and is like half the price.
I suppose ultimately the best deal was the RS250 as I got it used and it looks brand new and has the gate valve mod done already.
Has anyone looked into those cone skimmers? I see Progressive Reef has some Octopus Hurricone Category 2 skimmers. They look interesting.
