Great value for any medium sized mixed reef - This is my favorite skimmer yet, and I have had several (most of them reef octopus) I run this on my 140 gallon mixed reef, and I have been happy since the minute installed it. Took me all of about 5 minutes to put it together after a quick rinse, and install it in my system. My original skimmer was no longer working properly, I was leaving town the very next day, so I wasn’t sure how the break in was going to go. I set the water level at about 7-8” (just under the outlet tube) And it had a perfect head of foam by the next day. Upon talking with my tanksitter, it was functioning perfectly and by the end of the first week, I had a few inches of dark brown skimmate! No break in period at all! Months later still loving it. I haven’t had any overflows due to dosing/feeding. Review: Awesome Skimmer! - Awesome skimmer! This was my first purchase of a skimmer, after reading many reviews, and researching, I thought this was the best suitable skimmer for my application. After approximately a two week break in period, the skimmer begin pulling out copious amounts of waste. Very happy with its performance! ## Features - Classic 6" Compact Skimmer w/ AQ1800s - Dim: 10.4" x 8.1" x 20.7" - Rated up to 158gal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | ## Images ![Reef Octopus Classic 152-S Protein Skimmer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qM4WqHjJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This skimmer is amazing!

This was my first purchase of a skimmer, after reading many reviews, and researching, I thought this was the best suitable skimmer for my application. After approximately a two week break in period, the skimmer begin pulling out copious amounts of waste. Very happy with its performance! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to assemble and set up. *by M***H on November 14, 2021* I bought this skimmer to replace a Aquamaxx FC-180 that stopped making foam and was never able to dial in correctly. I run this on a 85 gallon tank with 20 gallon trigger sump, and it fit easily. This Reef Octo skimmer was a little more expensive than other skimmers I was looking at. But I'm glad I pulled the trigger and purchased this item, it was worth the money. I have it set in 8"-9" water level and I had it dialed in within minutes. After one day it was already foaming and skimming fish dung. And one other thing I was not expecting, is that you cannot hear it running. It does not go into detail on how to use it, but it does give basic steps that I followed and it worked fine. I wished I would have purchased the Reef Ocotopus brand when I first started this hobby.
