octo skimmer

I've got a recirc Octo and it's working great. Good value, great design, average construction. Mine was quite fragile when I got it, but no problems since.

How do people keep their sumps so clean? Mine does not look like that!

I would bet money that picture is from when the sump was brand new.

Ya after a couple weeks, the sump starts to look pretty dank. I find the light over the sump/refugium makes it SO much worse.

Okay...I feel much better now.

Nice. This might be what I'm looking for.

For the recirculating models, what does this mean: "Allows the user to input the exact amount of water desired to be skimmed. "?

I assume this is just another way of saying that I can hook up any sized pump for its intake.

Everyone takes pictures when they first start their tank.

one of the causes is high calcium/alk levels.

vinegar is worked the best for me to disolve calcium deposits from the impellers and other submerged parts.
