I was using a Reef Octopus 150 but had many problems keeping it working in my system with any consistency. My effluent production has been much more consistent since changing to an AquaMaxx CO-2.

Love my Aquamaxx Cone-S1
Set it and forget it. Easy to dial in

I don't have one yet. When I get the cash I'm buying the Jebao Coral Box S150 for my 15 gallon setup.

I'm incredibly ecstatic about it. My continuing testing and review on it

I'm consistently producing this...


First couple minutes after cleaning it out

And it drains to a Davey Jones locker producing around 5-6 cups per day of that dry foam :D

I am using coral life 65 on my 40b. Im not impressed or even to happy with it. It keeps sending micro bubbles out and if you turn the intake like after the pump down it just sucks water and no air so then no bubbles. It has yet to be actually broke in. Its been 4 months and still acts the same as out of the box.

You will only continue to be disappointed with this skimmer

Reef Octopus 110sss. Beats the heck out of the Coralife65G I was running before it.
Skimmer works well, wish it came with a collection cup drain (drilled my own eventually). Bit tight for my fat hands to clean the collection cup....but as for skimming....does a fine job
