definately very impressive and thick dark black gunk!!

lovin it!!

So awesome! I want one so bad

What's the foot print on that beast? As well is the ideal sump water level ?

How much? The reef octopus I got is garbage

the footprint is about 11 1/2" x 11 1/2"

right now we are running it at 7" of water and i have it set to skim dry , im not sure how it does yet in 8-10" of water but judging by its performance in 7" i can almost bet it would perform equally as well:)

$785.99 + tax


** reefoctopuss is awesome!!

Give me a call when you can, as this one isn't... Even with a new impeller, it isn't able to produce the skimmate like a skimmer should. (403) 919-3442

I am at my whits end here... Been 3-4 months now, so we can't say it is a break in period.

Any advice would be grateful from anyone... Ready to pull this out and put my hydor back in.

Denny sorry for the hijack also.

Rick what model do you have?

Only problem with these skimmers is that ultimately you will end up with smeared crap on the Canadian maple leaf :surprise: Not a good day for Canada :razz:

LOL:drinking:

well if thats the only problem then i say not too shabby!!

:PP

Well you heard it here first folks... Denny hates Canada :twised:

haha not true we have the best country in the world....minus the cold

ok so i love canada but hate the cold:mrgreen::mrgreen:

ya busted me!! :PPPP

so should i put you down for one??


want me to compare it to a bk? :twised::twised::twised:

rick

like dave said, bring it by the store and ill hook it up to the store systems for a few days to see if theres anything wrong with it:)

cheers

denny
concept aquatrics

Thanks Denny... I made some adjustments again as per Jeremy at Coralvue... If that doesn't work, I will for sure be bringing this in. Thanks again.

Nope, my BK still actually works after 5 years in service but a comparisom would be cool. Oh wait... that means you'd actually have to get one first :wink:

haha m gonna have to get dave to order some bk's for comparison sakes i see eh;)

cheers buddy:)

I'm as proud to be Canadian as anyone but that maple leaf is about the tackiest thing I've seen, other than that the skimmer looks cool. Good luck competing with Bubble King, ha ha!
