There have been a few threads on this skimmer, not many people have used it but the pics i saw from one guy were great. He was having alot of luck with it but said it was fairly noisy.

On the octopus I doesn't look like anything more then a bak pak and its too expensive. Do either a typhoon or a ps160 from aquatraders.com thats what I am doing. Plus if you ever want more from them just get a genx needle wheel pump for like $35 and still be under $100 for a great hob skimmer.
