I have not had any issues. The dc pump lets you dial it in nicely. I am also running their return pump. I think its the 2100. Both are over a year old with no issue.

I'd go with the Aquamaxx (and have so I'm bias even though I've had an octopus back when that design wasn't a classic). Nothing wrong with the octopus classic but it's just that, an older design with a newer pump). When you can get a reputable skimmer with smooth cone or wine glass transition, a gate water level valve, adjustment air, a non exclusive
(except the pinwheel) get anywhere Sicce pump for less $$ why wouldn't you. The smallest fc-80 is more than enough

After all of the reviews, videos, and taking into consideration the cost.

I pulled the trigger! Thanks!
