Default Octopus XP3000 External

Anyone have experience with this skimmer? Do you have to drill your sump to install it? If so, I'll consider the internal one.

Default SWC 250 1A

After doing more diligence, I opted to get the SWC 250 1A... This one has a kick-rear end Askoll 1500 pump. It pulls 2100 L/h air that beats the poo out of my current RS 250 pump that only pulls 1200 L/h. This will pull anything out of my water the moment it gets emitted from any of my fish! Die algae die! To get an equivalent rated Bubble King or Vertex skimmer, you'd have to poney up twice the cash.
