I like the reef octopus collector. Just have to make sure skimmer drain is higher than collector drain fitting. Also my sump was too high to use it originally.. They work well though

Well I am going to order the Cl 150 neck cleaner and the wc 140 waste collector tonite. I have the SRO 2000 int skimmer and it works like a champ.

5 gallon bucket with float switch works well. $12

The milk jug doesnt shut down your skimmer when full to prevent a flood of skimmate though :)

I have the avast neck cleaner (swabbie) and the skimmate locker. Works like a champ and was cheaper than the sro skimmate container. I have mine on an sro xp2000 sss.
