Reef Octopus Classic 150SSS Protein Skimmer

Excellent skimmer! Skimming from minute one. Assembly is very easy and straight forward. Super quiet, so I love it! The packaging was great, everything arrived without a crack, or even a scratch. I put a 1/2" silicone pad under it to have the proper water level in the skimmer. This baby runs so quiet, it almost scary. I keep looking at the collection cup to make sure it's working. And it is working, no doubt. If you buy it, you will not regret it. It replaced a Reef Dynamics skimmer and I couldn't be happier!

Used this in a 75 gal with 35 gal sump. Working great as long as the water stays topped off. change the cup out every week. My bioload is medium from tank filled with 4inch or smaller fish. There are currently a dozen of them swimming around. Dont underestimate the critical part of this equipment. I was shocked by the amount of waste remained in the water even after a 35% water change and vacuuming.*ATTENTION**Make sure the intake isnt blocked by a filter sock. It is best to clean the collection cup when it gets half full. Or risk spilling some of the waste into the water. (A lip on the cup to pry it from the body of the skimmer is needed.)

Im glad I got this skimmer. I'm running a 125g reef tank with a 40g sump and it's keeping up with the Bio-load well. Doesn't take up too much space in the sump and after a while of running it doesn't seem to be throwing tons of mice bubbles out like some other simmered I had. It seems like there is a sweet spot for the air intake hose in the silencer pipe, so with a little playing around it is "relatively" quiet for a skimmer. It has never overflowed on me which was a problem I had with my coralife skimmer, and it seems to be affective in a wide range of water levels as long as its dialed in correctly.

It was easy to assemble and it’s quite. Only had it for 2days. No complaints. Just follow the recommended water height.

After two months of trying to tune a cheaper model found for under $100, I finally have in and bought this mode. I am so glad I did! Assembly was quick and easy! Tuning was even easier! Less than an hour!! Construction consists of much thicker plastic components and an entirely different air hose design. Advice: Save up to go with an Octo Skimmer as knock offs are not worth the headache or frustration! Now I can begin to enjoy first start at a reef tank! Finally!!
