I do.
Should have find the space and bought the bigger one.
You want a sump to put all the equipment in.
However, the sump section is too small. I have the smallest octopus skimmer classic 110 -sss. Just manage to put it inside in an angle. 2/3 of the space already used up.
With the return pump and GFO pump, all filled. No space to put anything else. So tight, difficult to put my hand in to do maintenance.
If you can, get the bigger one.

Thanks! Yes, it's a little too late for me lol am stuck with this sump. So I've been looking around for the right skimmer to fit properly

Triple check the dimension of the skimmer before you buy.
When i buy the Octopus for the sump. I checked all the dimensions before i buy.
However, the dimension does not include the base plate of the skimmer. That's like 1 to 1.5" more. That's why i need to put it in an angle. Also my skimmer air vent pipe stick out 2-3 inch. Takes up a lot of remaining sump space.
Good luck ! Don't follow my mistake.
