The tea colored skimmate my previous skimmer pulled is nothing compared to this beast. My household knows when I am emptying the collection cup now as it pulls heavy chunky dark stinky skimmate out. After now that it has been dialed in correctly and adjusted to correct water height. Very impressed with this one. Best skimmer I've owned thus far and I've had a few, highly recommended! *** MY ADVICE TO ALL FROM AN EXPERIENCED REEFER ON HOW TO DIAL THIS SKIMMER AND OTHERS EFFECTIVELY...To dial, turn it up only to below the neck of the collection cup and let it run not touching the dial again. If you have no skimmate in the cup in a few days make small adjustments every several days until you start collecting skimmate then do not touch the dial again permanently even if you turn the power off and on leave the dial alone. If your water level is overflowing the cup wait to turn the skimmer on until the sump water level is stabilized but leave the dial alone it should go back to it's regular level of operation. You will get GREAT skimmate with this method. Also be sure to check that it fits where you intend to put it as it's semi bulky however it's effectiveness makes up for this IMO.Read full review

I would recommend this skimmer for any tank with a sump. I personally have used it on a 150gal. System down to a 50gal system with nothing but great results. My favorite part about this skimmer is its ease to dial in and keep dialed in week after week. No empty the cup and have to redial it back in. Set it and forget it with its over fill cup feature!

I bought a used reef system & unfortunately, the Reef Octopus skimmer that came with it had a bad pump (OTP 2000). I bought this pump as a replacement & so far it's working great.

Reef octopus has above average performance for protien skimmers , very reliable and if installed correct will out perform most others by far.
