I think that is what I had on my 125, would that be over kill on a 46?

I wouldn't, personally, buy anything that needs fixing. Even if its 'just an impeller'

I invested in a psk-100 from eshopps for my skimmer. Darn cheap (cheaper than octopus) but has just as good reviews. For me its working better than my old octopus did that's still circling around somewhere out there.

The 120 SWC wouldn't be, use a 20 gal sump.

Euro reef is good construction and well known for being great, but I would be prepared to buy a whole new pump just cause.

Just throughin my 2 cents I'n ! I really like my led's ! From the reviews i have read eco-tech has an awesome led fixture people seem to really like it and the options on the setup I's endless Radion i believe they are called they r kinda spendy though ! I got into my led's for about $150 it was a fairly cheap led setup but hasn't let me down yet !! My xp2000 cone reef octupus skimmer I's the best skimmer i have owned to date '

Also just adding I'n that reef octopus skimmer pump has a three year warranty!! Both Eco tech and reef octopus have outstanding customer service ! My pump on my skimmer doesn't start up sometimes on first plug I'n not a big deal but they sent me a back up pump just because i still have it Chillin I'n box brand new! Eco tech replaced my dry side on my vortech two months outta warranty !!! Two amazing companies I'n my eyes and both have gained a customer 4 life ! Also adding on with the Eco tech LEDs they come with software i believe and are totally programable so your tank lighting changes constanly through out the day kind of a cool feature i thought ! But have only seen the lights I'n action on video ! If i had the extra money that's were i would invest it '! But just my opinions And dreams lol

I did some checking and the impellers have a lifetime warrenty on them so I should be able to get a new one, but not sure if I want to go through all that bs for a skimmer.

Well at least you have time , they are pretty much identical builds to deltic skimmers and they are known for being very good.

Get it up and running already! lol Wink

When you get the tank up and running let me know and I'll bring you a nice box of stuff to start getting it filled with corals. I think I still have most of what I got from you so if you need frags just let me know.
