Selling my Reef Octopus Elite 200 INT. Was used for roughly 8 month's. I just had the skimmer cup replaced under warranty as it had a small leak between the "neck" and the collection cup.

Here are a few pics:

I am negotiable on price on this as well. Wasn't real sure what the going rate was, just did a quick search and listed it 25$ under the cheapest price I found.

I upgraded to the 220INT on my new build so I have no use for this.

Thanks
Dave

I use a slightly older one of these on my 180 (pre Vario-S Pump) and it works great...whisper quiet. Don't hesitate to buy this bad boy.

I am considering this unit as one of the replacement options for my Vertex Omega 150. The end of the ceramic shaft on the pin wheel of the Vertex Omega constantly chips and I'm tired of replacing it. I disassembled and cleaned my skimmer yesterday since replacing the pin wheel 6 months ago and sure enough the shaft is chewed up. This is the third and last time I'm dealing with this obvious design flaw. If someone is considering the Vertex Omega 150 do a few searches and you will see I'm not the only one with this problem!

I like the fact that the Elite is basically the same design as the Vertex Omega but with a DC motor.
Did you have any other issues with the Elite other than the leaking collection cup? How was the customer service getting the replacement cup? Is it easy to dial in?

Thanks in advance for any input you have.

Hello,

I had no issues what so ever. The skimmer was amazing and by far the best skimmer I have ever owned. Customer service was good. I got the skimmer cup quickly and with no hassle. It is very easy to dial in. I found that setting "3" on the varios controller or 50% if using 0-10v control worked the best for me and my tank setup. I did make a small stand for the skimmer to sit on it to bring it up to 7 - 8 inches of water height but I honestly didn't know any different results that 9 inches of water height.

I own an elite 150 int that I use on a frag tank setup and now the elite 220 int from my new 225g.

If you have any questions please let me know. The skimmer has been sold but I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have.
