Re: Protein skimmers plz help me out
Never used the SWC, but I currently have the Reef Octo. and it works great. Takes a bit to dial in but once you get it, it pulls out all kinds of gunk. Probably the best skimmer for the price. super quiet, easy to clean and doesn't take up much room

Re: Protein skimmers plz help me out
How much water does the reef octo have to be in for its sweet spot?? and how often do you change the cup? and can i take the cup off when its on how does that work?
