Pacific Coast Import Skimmers

Anyone opinions on these, worth the price or junk? I have an Octo 200NW on my tank now and looking into setting up another tank.

the ones available now ARE older model octopus needle wheel skimmers

PS3000 is the same as the NW200 pre funnel neck(also have versions of the NW110 and 150 pre funnel neck)

RPS1000 the same as the DNW110 pre updated collection cup union and so forth with sizing

How would this skim as compared to the Octo NW200 I Have? The one I have has the slip in collection cup.

same. the newer model has less restrictive L plumbing so its probably a little better stock, the old model has a less restrictive neck. supposedly the older model performs better modified because the neck can handle more air.

Thanks. Probably flip a coin on this.
