I picked up my new skimmer from Sho Tank this past Friday. A Reef Octopus Diablo DCS200. It was a real easy install/swap out with my E-Shop skimmer. Although it was a tight fit in my current sump, but it worked. My first impression of this is great, they are very adjustable with the added ability to adjust the DC pumps power. Will have to see how it's operating as it is breaking in. Will keep everyone posted.

I got one myself from Sho Tank. I have it running in my 40 breeder sump with a 140 DT. Its been running almost 2 weeks now and this thing can skim. I keep running at full speed (575 gph) and I've been getting a nice semi-dark tea-like skim to empty out every 3-4 days. During break-in I had a few out of control overflows, but its settling now. This is an awesome skimmer, the one downside I can think of it you can't detach the base from the cone, so it makes annual cleaning tougher. My last skimmer (CAD Lights) you could completely disassemble making cleaning quite easy.
