here are some pics from my Octopus NW200

Hey Ron, have you done any mods on that skimmer? How long in between cleanings to get that kind of sludge? I'm looking at upgrading my skimmer to an Octopus DNW-150 or an NW-200. I see that you're running the 200 on your 125. How's that working for you?

that is about a weeks worth of skimmate..i am pleased with the skimmer..it works well for my tank....it really depends on your bioload..i have a BB tank as well... i think that cuts back on some of the gunk that would build up...also, i never really found out what the best height would be for the overflow pipe on the skimmer..it might do better if i adjusted it:confused:
I'm extremely jelous !!!! .
Gaby, if you want some that bad, i can mail you some in a bowl!!!!!!! LOL
