Is this worth the money for my AIO tank?

Honestly the Reef Octopus Classic 90 is much better. If it wasn’t for me dropping the pump and breaking the impeller shaft I’d let you try mine out. I used to run it on my 100 holding tank until I added the HOB overflow and sump.

I thought about the HOB overflow and sump but scared to pull the trigger. Hell I just ordered some hydra26 hd’s and a maxspect xf 280 so I better take it easy for a bit.

What are you using now for a skimmer?

ktaylor88 · Jul 28, 2019

I have a seaclone 100 but I don’t use it much, it foams over too easy, I only have 4 fish and one cleaner shrimp right now. So water changes is about it.

in my opinion, hob skimmer are not necessary for aio tank. weekly water change should the trick. for tanks 30g or less that has minimum bioload don't need skimmer. there are so many ways to be successful with this hobby skimmer for small tank is not necessary.
