Redline 200 Skimmer

[mwilliams]

Has anyone out there ever used a Redline 200 Skimmer?
If so how was it?

Any recommendations would be greatly apprecaited before buying something and to only find out it is not worth it.

It's a good skimmer, but way over priced if your looking at a new 1. This Octopus skimmer is better and costs less.

If this is for your 55g, then you don't need 1 quite that big. This would work perfect.

Thank you. I will take a look at the Octopus Skimmer. I am in the process of checking out Reef Ready tanks and I have picked two out one is 150 gals and the other I beleive to be 120 gals.

I agree with Larry. Octopus brand skimmers are the top of the line IMO.

Does the Reef Octopus make a skimmer for hang on. I need to get another skimmer for my 55gal because the one I had it broke and I can not find the part to be replaced. It is odyssea skimmer ps75 not to bad of a skimmer once I got the flow going right. It is the part is the shape of a horse shoe. The black nozel part on it. I would attach a picture but not sure how to in these messages.

I`m pretty sure they do. I know I`ve seen other`s recommend them as a HOB.

Yes they do have a couple HOB options. Google them and you should be able to find several online vendors that carry them.

I was on Aquacave website but could not find one made by Reef Octopus yet... However, I did stumble across another website with very good prices.
www.customaquatic.com at least to me anyways.

So far several people have said to go with Reef Octopus Brand will it be easy to find replacement parts when needed? In the Houston Texas area?
