I am looking at the new Reef Octopus Skimmers. Have you considered them.

PRO-SSS-DC3 DC-5500s 9″ 13.6″ x 11.3″ x 25.2″ 500gal

Find any prices on these bad boys?

EDIT* Found them for $899.99 American. Little high for my budget.

If you don't need the SSS feature you can get the regular Diablo which is only 585 US. Not sure on a CDN price. I think Concept was getting some in, maybe ask Denny.

What about the Vertex Alpha Cone line? The 200 would be enough or 250. Quality skimmers with a lot more air draw than most of the other skimmers. 1700 lpa is solid and they run all most dead silent.

have you considered the db-10 from rlss? costs a bit more then the r10-i but the volute-less design allows for a huge air draw(up to 2600L/Hour at max speed) and still only 40watts power usage.
