Recirculating or the normal one?

dude, considering that you used to use AquaC and deltec, i dun think the reef octopus will be up to ur standard.

However, for the recirculating model, the skimmer body is very identical to deltec. Perhaps can do some DIY, change the pump or something for more powerful results.

n the price diff?

sorry for double post

I think the normal 1 has to be placed in sump (which i assume u dun ahve considering u are building a nano).

The recirculating one sld be a better option for you, but it will definately cost more.

How about considering Deltec MCE model? I know its slightly expensive. .

The ATI skimmer looks good too, if you are considering an insump model. Especially after such a good review has been done.

i'm currently using the recirculating model....smallest one....n i would say the product is indeed value for money.....the only cencern is that the nw pump is a bit too weak...i believe that it would be a great product if u change the nw pump.....i only wonder which pump would fit the size.....coz i also wan to change the pump too...

OR is suitable for the Skimmer... But you will need to import the NW impeller from online shops... Cos those sold in Singapore do not have NW impeller...

I am using the Recirculating Model... The second medium model... I find the performance very decent and acceptable... I find that normally the smallest model for Reef octopus is not very good.. The 2nd model onwards is quite good and worth the price...

I understand from another reefer that OR pump must be placed on the floor, which means it can't be position standing such as onto the RO recirculating model.

Perhaps its possible to consider other models such as eheim or aquabee. .

I think as long as the hose size is compatible, should be able to replace the RO pump....
