You can get an Octopus skimmer with a better body design and a newer generation Sicce pump for about $125 less. Both these skimmer have basically the same body size (8" diamater) but the Ocotpus has a semi cone shape. AquaMaxx 300s with the old generation PSK 2500 pump - $450 AquaMaxx In-Sump Protein Skimmer Octopus XS200 with new generation PSK 1000 pump - $325 Reef Octopus Diablo XS 200 Protein Skimmer - Reef Octopus - Protein Skimmers - Bulk Reef Supply
