Hi all,
I’ve got a new Waterbox Marine X 35.1 aquarium that I’ve had set up for <1 month thus far. I have a few soft corals and two RBTA which are all doing well, and two clownfish. My plan for this aquarium is to do an SPS dominant reef with a few zoanthids and mushrooms. Currently in my sump...
Good morning everyone. I am reaching out to get opinions on the best nano protein skimmer. Got myself a 20 gallon water box aquarium. Going to have a heavy bio load. I am selling my house and currently have a 40 gallon breeder which I don’t want to give up my corals. So at my temporary stay I...
Okay guys any suggestions would be much appreciated, so I’ve had this skimmer for about 2 months now and until the beginning of this week I’ve had no issue. 3 days ago I went to check on it and found the the level was dropping about an inch in the span of a couple second and would proceed to...

What’s up people. So I just wanted to do a spotlight/review of a product I just received from @Bulk Reef Supply . It’s the protein skimmer delay timer made by Reef Octopus. I feel like this thing is totally unknown by most of the reefing community and the fact is that it adds a HUGE amount of...

Selling my lightly used Deltec 600i Skimmer. Performed extremely well but upgraded to a larger tank so this skimmer hasn't been used. Thoroughly cleaned and ready for sale.
In really great condition. I DIY'd a hose connection to the skimmer cup to allow you to connect it to a skimmate locker...
New Vertex Omega 180i skimmer. Never used, but no box/packaging. Vertex went out of business, so no warranty, but really well built/reviewed skimmer.
$350 + shipping (or local pickup). I am planning on either keeping it or Reef Octopus 202 in other listing.
Great condition skimmer for sale - $250 + shipping (or local pickup). Roughly 2 years old. Very powerful and quiet for size. Works for tank up to 250 gallons.
I recently purchased a Reef Octopus RO-PS-2000INT off a local reefer because skimmers are ridiculously expensive and this is my first internal skimmer. I read something about recommended height for the input and output and I’m not exactly sure what that exactly means. Should I be measuring from...
Upgraded to the next model larger due to fast growing fish. Skimmer works perfectly, a real power house!
Black acrylic base and collection cup.
Transparent dark grape purple acrylic skimmer body top piece.
Used about 8 months.

Everything listed is less than 6 months old. Purchased new during my Waterbox 100.3 build. I have now moved all of my livestock to the 220 and am beginning the breakdown of the 100.3. Obviously the aquarium/sump/stand itself will be pick up only. Everything else should be able to be shipped. I...
I’ve narrowed down my skimmer upgrade between the Deltec 1500i and Royal Exclusive Bubbleking Mini 180 for my Red Sea Peninsula 500.
Which one would you pick and why?
Looking for a skimmer for an AIO 40, aquamaxx 1.5 or reef octopus 100 or 1000? not sure on the exact dimensions for those so prefer aquamaxx, please let me know.
Hi fellow reefers,
I run currently a Deltec 1000i on my 110g tank. I am struggling to get constant results in skimmate, as the Deltec needs frequent cleaning and doesn't really pull out much stuff. Never got dark stuff out, it doesn't even smell. I have a high bioload with many fish and my...
