Reef Octopus Classic 150-S Space Saver Protein Skimmer

The Reef Octopus Classic 150-S is an excellent needlewheel or pinwheel protein skimmer choice for average reef aquariums up to 120 gallons (manufacturer rated to 150g medium stocked). The Reef Octopus Classic skimmer line offers a great value with performance to match.

The sleek and compact Reef Octopus Classic 150SSS in-sump protein skimmer supplies powerful filtration for aquariums up to 210 gallons where sump space may be limited.

The Reef Octopus Classic 150SSS is constructed of high-quality acrylic that can be completely disassembled for cleaning. Equipped with the new Aquatrance pinwheel pump, it produces an ideal mix of water and air for optimum waste removal. A simple vented wedge valve output provides precision control and allows cleaned water to exit the skimmer below water for quiet operation. Also available in the smaller Classic 110SSS model.

Internal model designed for in-sump use only. No feed pump required, skimmer draws water directly from sump.
