Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Octopus 150INT

[b4tn]

It seems to be the best for my budget. I really don't want to go higher than $250.00. I have a 75gallon with a 30 gallon sump where the skimmer will sit. I dont plan on having many fish mostly LPS and as I get more comfortable SPS and maybe more fish. Does this skimmer seem to be a good match?

I have the 225INT on a 125G with 75G sump. Skimmer has no problems keeping up and doesn't take constant adjustment. I keep the bubbles about an inch and a half below the top of the skimmer and I get a nice good dark brown/black color skim, granted I also dose carbon, but it keeps up with carbon dosing so I can't complain.

Good skimmer, especially since they use the Aquatrance pump now, instead of the original OTP 2000. You won't be disappointed :).

Agree with the others. I think you'll be happy with that skimmer. I love my
Reef octopus skimmers.
