I've been looking at the Auquamax 1.5 but for $10 more the reef octopus 1000 looks to be the better option. Where does that sensor doohiccky get installed and how does it work?

DTIs it to put on a DT or a sump?
You place it at the top of the collection cup. If foam or liquid reach the sensor it turns off the skimmer. When reading about HOBs there were a lot of flood/water spill stories due to overflowing collection cups when the skimmer goes crazy. With the sensor it cant flood.I don't really understand how an overflow sensor will work on a hob skimmer
I have used the reef octopus classic 90 HOB for about 7 months I’m very impressed.What is everyone's opinion on the best HOB protein skimmer for relatively new 55gal. And go!!
This HOB 90 sits on a 10 gallon sump.I was looking at the 90 but kind of looked too tall for my 40 gal breeder. How tall is your tank?
This is on a sump under a cabinet out of sight.Geez. This is considered hob now days? That is a monster sticking up way high and in no way looks good at all. If this is what it has come to to get performance from a hob you might as well call your display a sump.
I am joking a bit because I know the designs they use now days but seeing a pic made me chuckle. I have only owned the more discrete ones way back in the day. That, in my opinion only, is ridiculous to stick on a tank except for basement type setups. Not in a bedroom or living area
Thank you so much! what size pump are you returning to the display with?
