I have an Octopus Recirc. 150 Skimmer it has a needlewheel driven recirculation pump;
and a Maxi Jet 1200 as the feed pump. Someone told me to hook the skimmer up inline, and I was moving on figuring out a mod for it but Cheeks talked me out of that in a thread….good move for me….

Thanks Cheeks!

just wondering what the reason was for not hooking up the skimmer in-line? i was planning on doing this exact thing with mine, and would like to know the pros and cons... thanks
P.S. good job on the leak free plumbing, I wasn't so fortunate my first time hooking up a system
