I recently bought out a bundle of equipment from someone getting out of the hobby that had a bunch of stuff in storage for a really large tank they used to have. I'm working through everything and found this giant sized skimmer and am trying to figure out what it is so I can try and price it fairly to sell/have information to give a potential buyer on it. Looks to be in great shape and is about 12.5 inches in diameter but I can't find any writing on it anywhere to ID a brand or model or anything. There are multiple Reef Octopus and Reef Mania reactors/skimmers/pumps in my lot so my initial thought is it might be from one of those companies but being an older item, I can't put my finger on anything that looks like a match.

Probably an Ehiem, reef dynamics, or aqua euro. Appears to have use a recirculating pump. Those used Ehiem aqua bee pumps.
Doing some searching on all the suggestions people have had and this I think got me the closest. Found an old post here in r2r for a custom Euro-Reef skimmer and it looks VERY similar:


And another that had been sold:


I even have some pumps that look like the ones in these pictures that weren't attached to anything when I got them so I wasn't sure what they went to and now I'm thinking they went to this. I'll keep digging! Hard to find info on stuff this old. :)
