Amazing filter skimmer

Does exactly what you want. I only have about 55 gallons between the display and the pan and about 12 small fish. It took a few weeks to break in but now this skimmer is perfect for me. It's rated for a 110 gallon setup, but I have a heavier bioload, sometimes overfed and reefroids 2-3 times a week so this can get really messy. But this size seems to work perfectly. If you have a setup like mine and aren't sure if this skimmer is going to be too big, fear not. Eventually, your biological load…

Pros
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Outdated

Skimmer workhorse

This skimmer is attached to my 90 gallon reef tank. I kept the pool without a skimmer for a few months as I didn't have a lot of bioburden and was trying to save some money on the build. I finally bought this skimmer when I started adding more fish. About 4 fish in a 90g tank do 20% water changes every two weeks for several months so I added this skimmer. And things worked. I couldn't believe how much dirt was in the water! He pulled out a dark tea/coffee skimmate. I emptied the drip tray every

  • Confident

reef octopus. That's a great skimmer!

Given the reputation of the Reef Octopus Skimmer, my review is of little value. Eshopp's swamp use and can't record better results. Expect a break of 1-2 weeks before seeing real results from skimming, so don't be discouraged, just wait for the setup to work. You must also find the perfect balance for your sump configuration and air/flow mixture when changing the flow valve after it is "busted". If this happened, produce it! My 90 gallon reef tank produces enough water that I have to empty it…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Zero
