Hey, Flower....
If you want to do a search then I believe for the overflow we are wanting the CPR CS-90 600gph overflow. And for pump we were talking about the Eheim Compact 3000.

LOL...Monsinour...Don't do that to me..

The best prices I have found so far are as follows:
Octopus XP 1000 sss $294.95
CPR CS90 Overflow box w/lifter pump and acrylic top $110.95
Eheim compact 3000 pump $119.99
$525.89
There is still shipping the sump to be concidered as well. I know Shawn said he can do better

The overflow when you get the lid an lifter pump goes up to 110.95 The cheapst I found for the pump was 119.00 and I ordered it already..I'm looking for the skimmer right now before heading off to work..I looked in Premium aquatics an the skimmer is $294.99 there not $275.99

Found the Octopus XP 1000 sss skimmer on a site called Fins depot...they have it on sale for $279.99 with free shipping...That's the way I'm going to go unless there is some reason that place isn't trust worthy. ...I will hold off until I get some opinions, not too long as I don't want to miss the sale. Premium aquatics has it for $294.99 but then they charge shipping.

Flower.....go to their site....click on protein skimmers, then down to Octopus, and then it will bring up their different classes/skimmer lines....click on Octopus Super Reef.....the very first skimmer listed is the SRO 1000 int.....$275.99
I stand corrected Flower $294.00....Premium would still get my business, and they offer free shipping on orders over $175.00.....click on the shipping link

It may be too late, but the next time anyone wants to buy stuff, just let my wife know. She is the king of deals on stuffs. I think she saved us well over $300 on all the things we have bought for the tank.
Is the excitement starting to build Flower?

Are you kidding...I don't have any fingernails left...LOL
I have not purchased the skimmer yet, I ran out of time and had to get to work, I just got home. Have her work her magic if she can. It has to be the skimmer Shawn built my sump to hold and researched to do the right job for me. I have had such bad experience with skimmers that I am staying with the exact one he and Corey said to get, so I don't want any simular types.
Octopus 1000 sss he has a model number CV SRO 1000 int

Premium would be my choice. Certain equipment isn't bargained, prices are set to a point. Premium excellent service all the way around.
