What would be a good hob protein skimmer for a 125 gallon tank? It's gonna be a fish only tank and I was wondering if the reef octopus 2000 work that is rated at 125 gallons or what would work
 
Check out the Tunze 9012 instead. In-tank. Magnetically mounted. Very compact. Rated up to 300 gallons.

If the R.O. is only rated at 125 gallons it's probably going to be under-sized for your system. (The strange nature of skimmer ratings....)
 
I thought I needed to double the size of the tank and that one says that it handles from 125 to 205 so I don't know
 
I nave a bh-2000 on my 120 gal. reef. going on three years and no problems. I empty the cup every 3-4 days. I don't believe in the double the size thing, considering that there are many skimmerless tanks out there. I don't really want a skimmer that's in tank. the RO has the pump on the outside. it's a bit loud but aren't they all?
