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.

I don't feel sorry for someone who can keep acrylic in a shed in the winter and not have it crack

I am of course assuming an un-heated shed

Nah, all my acrylic is outside unheated. You're fine. Although it might look good on the coffee table instead of the shed. Just sayin'...

I dunno, I guess it would make a great conversation piece. People coming to look at the house might think it a bit odd though. Maybe if I took the collection cup off and put some flowers in it or something

Put some sort of hose coming off of it, call it a bong.

Are the flowers blooming in Victoria yet? Part of my decision on school is the greenery that surrounds me

No it doesn't really *need* to be heated, it just has some weird air currents and gets condensation inside that causes issues. For the most part I just don't think our electricity bill is high enough so...
