Hmm...had a friend with a store that had an octopus...not really sure how he felt about it. What I DO know, is that I, my brother, and this guy ALL switched to protein skimmers from AquaC, and none of us have been disappointed. I have recommended them to almost everyone that has asked me ANYWHERE...and none of them have ever complained, in fact I have seen some of them come back to various sites and tell other people to get AquaCs...
So heres the link. Do a little research and decide for yourself. I know there are a couple other people on here that have different skimmers they like, hopefully they will drop their .02
