[kenshinH]

Recently i got a used reef octopus bh100 for $30, i was scroll at CL and i found this for $50, is it better that the bh100?

Can't see what pump isbeing used on the Bashsea, and I can't see the pump being used on the other Skimmer. Would be best to know what your running first.

I thought canister filter with hose is the collection chamber of the skimmer, so they are separate ?

My bad.
The Bashsea is just a waste collector.
So you would connect it to your skimmer waste line.

I just use a one gallon milk jug for my overflow collection cup.

Ah okay, totally new to skimmers :-) the brand is bashea?

Yea, the one on the left is a Bashsea Collector. Not a Skimmer
The one on the right kinda looks like a Terminator Skimmer, but I'm not sure about that, or what type it is.

is $40 reasonable price for it? i already have a reef octopus bh 100 and ive been reading that it overflows a lot, im thinking of ditching the reef octopus and getting the typhoon protein skimmer with the bashea collection jug :-)
im not sure if thats a good idea :-(

I'd stick with the Ref Octopus over the Typhoon. imo
