Notes to new Octopus Extreme 160 users

[Keith P]

Just a note to any one planning on or just getting an Octopus Extreme 160.

When you get the skimmer, the bubble plate is supposed to be two pieces. I thought mine was broken (like a moron). Then I realized it has to be two separate pieces to be able to fit through the top of the skimmer housing.

Also, the o-ring for the collection cup is used as a "rubber band" to hold the accessory bag closed. I was going nuts looking for it

Mine didn't come with the mesh wheel. Not sure if this is normal.

Just a heads up to help save some others the aggravation...

Just a note if you order it from Marine Solution it should come with both MW and PW and you also get free shipping.

Bandito, Thats an MSX not OCT. I know, I know, they are supposed to be the same...

I wonder if I can order an MSX MW for my OCT skimmmer.
