Hello! I can’t be annoyed with the large in sump skimmer I’ve been using on my large tank. It’s not that I don’t like in sump skimmers but space is an issue as well as constant overflowing if the ATO gives a bit too much. I was holding out for the reef octopus 300ext but came across someone selling the slightly older 5000 ext. it also includes the automatic neck cleaner, I am paying $400 for the skimmer and cleaner.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with these models? I’ve seen several of the new ones in action and love the external feature but have never used or seen the older model external skimmers before. Is there anything I should be aware of? Thank you! Also can the newer varios pumps be used as a direct replacement on the 5000?
