Efficient and Compact: Reef Octopus NS-80 Nano Protein Skimmer Review

LOUD, does not work as advertised, tricky setup, setup instructions require more than blurry images. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY. The 2 week return period has expired, which means I am not getting any money for it now.

With few assembly instructions, I managed to assemble it only to find that it was producing too many microbubbles. Whatever setup or tweak I did didn't solve it.

Instructions were rubbish (You Tube help), material is cheap, noisy and DOESN'T FLUSH. I doubted it for a few days, but it's only good for one thing: creating microbubbles in my tank. i will send it back

I am just starting out with reef aquariums and after a disaster that ended very badly I had to buy a skimmer. This skimmer is compact, efficient and gets the job done. There aren't any clear instructions on how to build it, but it's pretty easy.

If you drop a box 2 feet and it bursts, that's a good sign you've wasted your money. Made in China is very prominent on the packaging and I won't disagree. The best direction is the picture on the box, the piece of paper in the box is basically useless. That being said, I installed this in my nuvo 14 center cam. The fit was good. Now the deciding factor in whether it goes in the trash or not depends on the ability to control all the microbubbles it releases (very bad indeed).

Goes where most skimmers can't. It's small enough to fit in the back of my Evolve 8. There are only two problems with it, the first is the water level. You need to pretty much keep the water level at a certain "best point". If it's too high, the skimmer will wet the foam too much and fill the bowl almost immediately, too low and no degreasing will be achieved (the water won't reach the top of the bowl itself). Another problem is with this mug. overflow Because the bowl is small, it can fill up…
