@Connor At CoralVue - any thoughts on this? #reefoctopus #octo

...am currently using 3 different Reef Octopus skimmers on different systems. Additionally, in an informal R2R poll Reef Octopus was selected as the best skimmer brand: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/best-skimmer-brand-who-gets-your-vote.721862/ Good luck with whatever you choose! #reefoctopus

I run a #reefoctopus Essence S-130 on a 75g - I think the 130 will be fine for your tank based on your bio-load. I really like the small footprint - it lets me add the 130 and a RO LR-150 light reactor to the main sump compartment.

I love my #reefoctopus Light Reactor. Great to work with, easy install and I have had great growth for all the time I have been using it (about a year now). Regular monthly harvests that are jammed full of cheato. Very little maintenance to be done so far, other than collecting cheato. This...

I have the #reefoctopus LR-150 and have been very pleased! The biggest problem this past year was getting clean chaeto to get it started. My #IceCap turf scrubber has been even simpler to get up and running, but both are doing a good job on the different systems where they are installed. I...

@Michael@CoralVue @Jeff@CoralVue - do you have any input on the Varios 6 settings? #reefoctopus #Varios

There are many opinions on protein skimmers so you will likely get several recommendations. I have been using #reefoctopus skimmers for years and have been very happy with their performance. I currently am using Reef Octopus skimmers on three different systems. Good luck with whatever you choose!

...for about six months and have been pleased with the performance. I personally run it internally in my sump, but the link above shows a scenario where it can also be run externally. I believe that @JerSaint has also been using one successfully. Good luck with whatever you decided...

Let's see if we can get some help with your question... @Jeff@CoralVue @Michael@CoralVue #reefoctopus

I run several #reefoctopus skimmers on various systems and have always been very pleased. One of their 110 skimmers should work well for that system. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Your frustration with chaeto finding its way everywhere is part of the reason that I recently added a #reefoctopus Light Reactor so that I can have an enclosed area to grow chaeto. Previously, I had added a large pore sponge between the baffles that separated the return pump section of the sump...

Everyone has an opinion when it comes to skimmers. I am a big fan of #reefoctopus and am currently running three of their skimmers. I have been using their skimmers for the last ten years and found them to be very reliable. Good luck with whatever you chose!

I have a 55g and a 60g system that I am using #reefoctopus skimmers on - a Reef Octopus 110INT and a Reef Octopus 150INT. I also have a Reef Octopus Essence 130 skimmer, but I think a 110 would work very well on a 40 breeder. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Reef Octopus has skimmers that are rated from 60 gallons to 26,500 gallons. How monster is monster? #reefoctopus

...on equipment choices. :) I am currently running three Reef Octopus skimmers on different systems as well as a Reef Octopus Light Reactor L-150 so obviously I am a #reefoctopus fan. IMO, for a 55g tank a Reef Octopus Classic 110INT would be a good option. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I'm very pleased with my #reefoctopus LR-150! I have noticed far less algae attempting to grow in the tank since I installed the light reactor about 5 months ago.

...come at this hobby (and life) from different places so, while there are probably some wrong ways, IMO there isn't one right way. I am a #reefoctopus fan and am currently running several of their skimmers, light reactor, etc. I think that you will be please with the quality of their gear...

...the Essence S-130 skimmer about four months ago and have been using it on a 75g tank. I like the large skimmer cup, but the main reason that I got the S-130 was because of the small footprint and it allows me to put it in the main chamber of my sump along with the #reefoctopus L-150 Light...

I have my #reefoctopus Essence 130 in about 8 inches of water although it could probably be a little lower (or have a short stand under it). I am have the dial pretty closed to closed.

A #reefoctopus Regal 150 will work very well on a 55g medium or heavily stocked tank. I currently am using a Reef Octopus 150 classic on a 55g and am pleased with the results - with the Regal you will have even more control. I would encourage you to consider a slightly larger sump (such as a...

Currently I am using standard power heads, but am planning to move to gyre pumps (maybe the Maxspect or waiting for the #reefoctopus Blade). Additionally, I want to tie the pumps together with the #Hydros WaveEngine in order to take a more systematic approach to flow (and limit power bricks).

In addition to the good recommendation from @ca1ore, another option would be to reach out to CoralVue support ([email protected]) because they provide support in North America for the #reefoctopus product line including the Varios pumps. Great question and good luck!

Jake - I enjoyed watching the first video on this series with the new #reefoctopus Octo Sump, Reef Octopus skimmer, and Reef Octopus return pump. I look forward to the upcoming short follow up videos on the mods and upgrades to this sump!
