Coralvue Super Reef Octopus HOB LX-2000 protein Skimmer (1 Viewer)

Just got this new skimmer on saturday, and emptied out the collection cup cause it was half full when i got back from work today. Its skimming a little too wet for now , but im sure it still needs to break in, a little bit of microbubbles are coming in for now , but it looks like in time they will stop, By the way this HOB skimmer has got to be the biggest and strongest skimmer there is,and i only got a 25g ada cube . this thing is big, but i got it cause i know i will get a bigger tank later this year.As far as specs , people report 56scfh and 1000lph..

this is the skimmer

Well i'm gelious, it would be a much better review if you were to include pics of it in action and the skimmate production, would be much appreciated If it is truly pulling those numbers, sounds as though it would work better than my extreme 200 :/ God i need to upgrade.

pics, i know its monster of a skimmer but this baby skims, and i will be upgrading my tank to a bigger rimless cube or the rimless illuminata oceanic tank.Bubbles have decreased by alot , and still messing around with my skimmate, by lowering or increasing the height of the collection cup.
