Hi Ray,

I have an older model DC-170 internal. Do you know if it is possible to use this new style of pump with the old skimmer? Just wondering in case I need a replacement pump one day.

I would be interested in the answer too, as my pump has already died once on my DC-250

Have you sold one yet? How noisy are the pumps? My omega is the loudest thing on my tank I can't stand that thing.
I still owe you 800 dollars for that mp60 I made you bring in; I will have a deposit ready for saterday
we are one of Canada's top Octopus dealers, so yeah, we sold some :-) All positive so far. The one topic that keeps coming up is how quiet they are. That is one of the DC's strong points, they are super quiet.

Don't worry about the MP60, we have a couple.

Yes, Octopus has designed them to fit right in. Just need to know if it's for INT or EXT.

Thanks,

Ray

Have you seen the Regal models Ray they have the pump inside the skimmer body. The 170sss seems like a good fit for my tank

Can you explain why there are two air intakes on the venturi and the differences of the black and clear one?
