Anybody have any opinions about this skimmer or any other skimmers?
I am working on a set-up for a 240 DT with a 65 sump

the octo nw 200 si a better skimmer than the asm g3 for $100 less money. It has a larger body and better construction.
that being said, Iwould recommend A recirc 200 for your system. The nw 200 may do the job, but the recirc would definitley do the trick. it is $389 but is a very nice skimmer.
May also look into the das ex2 skimmer for your needs. It all comes down to budget really.

Hey thanks I think I will go with the Octopus Skimmer Dual Recirc 250.
I found it on sale for 350.
What small pump would you recommend with it that runs cool and quiet?

Ha yeah that copy and paste can get me in trouble it is the single recirc 200 that I am thinking on getting.
I thought about the gravity drain but wouldn't that be quite a bit more than 400 gph...I have two 1 1/2" drains?

put a ball valve on one of your drains to feed the skimmer and you can control the flow to it...

Joncat, how does the octo compare to the asm in terms of adjustment, cleaning, cup removal etc? I am trying to decide between the G3, and Octo NW200.
Thanks
