Sorry, not the clearest pic, just a cell phone shot before lights on the other morning.
This is my basket star that came in with my TBS order over a year ago. Still on the same Gorgonian and still growing.

Have you seen the new REGAL Reef Octo protein skimmers with a Float switch installed and there new Reef Octo VarioS DC Controllable pumps.. I have been in this hobby for over 20 years and I have never had a skimmer and pump run so smooth! In my opinion, it's one of the best skimmers on the market!

By the way, I put a swabbie and a Davy Jones locker on my skimmer and am super happy

Here's my thing on skimmers... I'm not saying LR skimmers are the be all end all. Any skimmer that works for you is a good skimmer. I like my LR for a bunch or reasons I stated a million times before and at the end of the day it skims just fine. I always have issues with nitrate being too low. And what's the percentage of DOC's removed by a skimmer? 20% max? So really... if X skimmer skims 10% better than Y skimmer (if you can even measure "better"), it's not making any quantifiable difference IMO. So in the end, I'm perfectly happy with LR skimmers with zero complaints about them, which gives me zero reason to look at other skimmers, or even tweak my LR. Not until something so revolutionary comes to market that makes all current skimmers obsolete. So as they say in the Shark Tank... for those reasons... I'm out.

Adds quite a bit of height but nice to see it works.
Back burner though... I think this is going to be my next purchase.

I have one of those too. Great little pump.
The height isn’t a big deal so far for me. Adds like 3” maybe? Removing the cup isn’t any more complicated other than unplugging the swabbie |

Love that float switch. Not much worse than having a sudden surge of wet skimmate overflow that crap into your sump.
