Hi Jim,

The C&C’s octo 300 looks to be quite a nice design. The Laguna pump with enlarged volute should inject plenty of air.

On paper I would say the C&C would be better than most of the Core’s, but without using either it’s just an opinion based on photos

Thanks that clear’s it up. Would you say that the C&C skimmers are as good as the core skimmers.

Hi Jim,

It can get very confusing! Currently the Octo Pro 300 as pictured in the latter part of the post is made by C&C Marine in Canada.

Then it is my understanding, that the Octo Core line is from Octopus Australia, but made by the same Chinese factory (Honya) that makes the Coral Vue Octopus and MSX Skimmers. It’s likely we will never see the Core skimmers here in the U.S. but who knows?

I seem to be confused to that they’re seems to be two different Octopus skimmers one from China and one from Canada, can you please clear this up Thanks in advance
