Octopus RPS-3000 Anyone used or using one now??Another option added
 
Looking for a little info on any experience with this skimmer. I can get one for under $400 bills brand new but don't really know much about them so any input is greatly appreciated.

I run it (inline) on my 120 gal. The job is done right but quite frankly i got mine used for only $50.00 so your best is to shop around a bit!

At almost $800 shipped from the states then add custom, duties, broker fee & tax this would be a good deal as it is brand new never used.

Looked at it and that is about $500 over my budget, way to expensive.

I have to find one that will fit in my current sump or be external so that when I get the 250 rebuilt it will just slide over with me sump. Also wanting to switch to a big return pump (have been looking at last lights pump for sale) and build the returns all on one pump instead of 2.

This one, http://cgi.ebay.com/8-Recirculating-...item4aa08d8927 by any chance?

Reef Octopus brand seems to have many different skimmer models. I have never heard any negative reviews on them.

Looks like a pretty good deal to me..

Same skimmer but different seller, might have a line on a Deltec AP702 as well.
