I'm currently running a reef octopus prime 200. It's a great skimmer and I'm really happy with it. Before I had it I was running an Sro 3000sss. I had that skimmer on my 110. It was way over sized but it was a beast and did an awesome job....periodically. I think it was way to big for the system. When I got the new skimmer I left the 3000 outside for quite some time and ended up just tossing it in storage. I thought the pump was bad but it was just gummed up. Now it's running great and in a vinegar bath cleaning. I'm super happy cause of how big it is. But. Now that's my problem. The stand on my current tank is to short. I can't fit this skimmer in it. Only way would to fit it would to be build a new stand. I would love to do that too. But I have way to much to do and I don't plan on keeping this tank forever so the stand will do for now. Hoping to move to a bigger house in the next couple years. So here's my dilemma. Should I keep the skimmer in plans on upgrading tanks in a few years or sell the skimmer and buy corals. It could be as long as 5 years before I get a bigger tank. A lot could happen between then. Thoughts?
