matt Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So after a much needed cleaning of my skimmer I noticed that all the wires are exposed on the pump. So it's the final nail in the coffin! I just put this bad boy on order! A reef octopus regal 170 sss. It's more then then I wanted to spend but I am just going to go for it. Any one else have this skimmer?

Blue Z Reef Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've got a RO Elite with the new line of white DC pumps, they are amazing, you won't be disappointed! Super quiet, controller is nice with the 15/60 min feed delays and nice build quality overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltwater newbie Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Just put a bubble blaster 3000 on that skimmer body it would rock might have a little modify work but it would kick butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 That was a thought. I just decided to roll with a new one. Jeff has it on order for me and it should be here by the end of the week. I might sell my old one or put a new pump on it and keep is as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
