Anyone have one or can review it for me. I just bought one but there are zero reviews. I'm sure it's great but would like to hear from someone who is using it. It will go on a 120g with 40breeder sump. Medium stock.

Not sure about the elite model, but i have a Diablo int-200 on my 120g w 40b sump. Love it. Pulls some thick nasty stuff. It's been running for almost 2 years. My pump went out. Luckily the pump I had, had a 2yr warranty. They replaced it with a newer model pump since the stock one was discontinued. My tank is pretty heavily sps with a couple angels, tangs and anthias. Pretty decent amount of feeding. It does a great job.
 
Well I guess I will be making the first review as mine arrives this weekend. I can't believe no one has used this skimmer. ODD.....
 
The Diablo is totally different. Mold. Pump silencer. Valve and much more.
 
I have the prime series, which looks identical to the elite, except for the pumps. Couldn't afford the elite though. But I must say the reef octopus skimmers are beast. Mine is the prime 200int. Skims a lot of gunk in my 80.
 
So after a few days I can say so far I am pleased with it. Very quite.
And pulling nasty gunk right out of the box. I am going to have to redo my sump since it didn't fit in chamber 1 and had to move it to my second camber that I was going to use as a fuge, because it didn't fit where the last skimmer was. But still am pleased.
 
Updates? I’m looking st this skimmer or the vertex alpha 200
 
Update on my skimmer. It’s been a few years 4 years to be exact. and this thing is still a beast. Best investment so far.
