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.

I've been running an Octopus on my 240G for 5 years now, it's been great but I have had to replace the pump on it 3.5 years in.

Is it a recirc or in sump?

It's in sump, and I admittedly had to shave some inches off the base off as it has a large footprint.
My sump is a 5x2x2 but the baffles got in the way.

That is kind of why I would like to go with an external recirc.
