I would wait a bit. They are not pulling near the air draw they advertise right now. They are also changing the volute on the pump around too. I would wait til they get all of the kinks ironed out. Also, have you looked into the MSX 200? They are absolute beasts....I saw one running at Marine solutions, if I had a big enuf tank, there is no doubt that is what I would get.
And it is cheaper than the octo pro.

I've read about the MSX also but werent alot of people having trouble with the pump? I read how some of the sicce pumps either didnt start or many people had to mod the skimmer and pump to get to perfom correctly . I know someone who even had to replace the air line with a hose form lowes . For the price these companies charge on good skimmers these days there should be no needed modicaitons by the customer. thanks for the info. BTW do you know when Coralvue will be fixing the Octo Pro ?

I have the 150 and it works great!!! Everyone has their own opinion on what is the best. I did a lot of research when I was ready to get one and I heard great results from owners of these skimmers. BTW it is a great plug and go skimmer, no stupid adjusting.

its a spray injection like aqua C(but no air adjustment) looks like it might also be along the lines of a becket from wat some people have said by looking at the pics of them
