There are a lot of opinions on skimmers - personally I have been using #reefoctopus skimmers for many years and have always been happy with their performance. On a 55g you could choose one of their models anywhere in the 110 to 150 range.

Nice work! I like the 4 chamber sump and the #reefoctopus skimmer! What are your plans for the 3rd chamber?

Most, if not all of the #reefoctopus Regal and Elite skimmers will run off from the #WaveEngine. What skimmer do you currently have?

Welcome to R2R!!! Thanks for the introduction! I noticed your #reefoctopus Essence 130 skimmer - nice choice when you need a small foot print - I have one too!

That is a great skimmer! You didn't mention how heavy or light you expect the bio-load to be, but with a normal or greater bio-load you should be fine to run the #reefoctopus 202-S on a 90g w/ 40g sump.

...small footprint of the 130 is great and I am able to fit it in the main sump chamber along with a Reef Octopus LR-150 algae reactor. However, if the size is not the determining factor I would lean toward the 150 which will work well on a 75g tank. Good luck with whatever you choose...

I suggest that you reach out to CoralVue customer support ([email protected]). They provide the North American support for #reefoctopus.

Congratulations on finding a nice used skimmer! I have several #reefoctopus skimmers (not the 200 INT) and I have found that the line were the cylinder starts to taper in is usually a good water height (in your picture, it is just above the Reef Octopus sticker).

#WelcometoR2R and congratulations on your saltwater adventure! I currently have 3 #reefoctopus skimmers running on different tanks including the 150 INT classic. IMO you will be fine with the Reef Octopus 150 INT on your system both now and in the future.

...such as an Inkbird Digital Temperature Controller. The Varios 6 is a great pump. 100gpd isn't nearly as much as it sounds. There are a lot of opinions on skimmers - personally I am a big #reefoctopus fan and am currently using 3 of their skimmers on various systems and couldn't be more pleased.

I currently have three different #reefoctopus skimmers running on different systems. I think that the Reef Octopus Regal 150S will work fine on the 80g. I have a RO 150 classic running on a 55g plus sump and it works well. I also have a RO Essence 130 on a 75g plus sump. The great thing...

...reasonable option and either the 6k or 8k would work on a 75g (@Mastiffsrule - do you have any thoughts to share on this pump?). In addition to all of the pumps that you mentioned which are solid choices, you may also want to look at the #reefoctopus Varios-6. Good luck with whatever you...

You may also want to consider a #reefoctopus skimmer. I have been using them for over 10 years and currently have 3 running on different tanks - I continue to be please with the performance.

I currently am running three #reefoctopus skimmers (one of those I’ve had for about ten years) and I have been very pleased with all of them. I have the Essence 130 and it is great, but it depends on your size constraints, future upgrade plans, and interest in automating your setup in the...

You may also want to consider the #reefoctopus Essence 130 based on the tank size and available space.

I am a big Reef Octopus fan! I have used these skimmers for over 10 years and currently have three RO skimmers running. Good luck with whatever you decide and welcome back! #reefoctopus

Congratulations on the new skimmer! The Reef Octopus 220 Elite is really nice! #reefoctopus

...skimmer! It may or may not be the pump. It could also be the air intake - I know that you said that it was completely cleaned, but it could also be the air intake. You may want to reach out to support@coralvue for further assistance or look at their help guides on line. Good luck...

I have the light reactor L150 in a Reef Octopus Octo 36A sump. It is a tight fit with the Reef Octopus 150EXT skimmer so I got a Reef Octopus Essence 130 skimmer and it is a much better fit. #reefoctopus

I just got one and am setting it up this weekend! I like how you can set it up externally or (like I will be doing) put it in the main chamber of the sump with my skimmer. #reefoctopus

As you suggested I believe the Reef Octopus Classic 110-EXT uses the AQ-1000s pump. https://www.coralvue.com/aquatrance-1000s-skimmer-pump I am not familiar with any alternatives and did not see any with a quick internet search. Good luck! #reefoctopus

There are a wide range of opinion on skimmers - personally I am a big fan of #reefoctopus skimmers. I currently am running a Reef Octopus 110INT, a Reef Octopus Essence 130, and a Reef Octopus 150 classic on systems that are comparable to yours and am thrilled with the performance of all of...

I have the #reefoctopus light reactor (L-150) because it fits well into my sump (it can be used internally or externally), however without the space constraint I may have gone with the #IceCap algae scrubber (I will probably add this to another system in the future).

...tank! There are a wide array of quality skimmers and you will likely get many responses and opinions. Personally I have been using #reefoctopus skimmers for over 10 years and have been very pleased with their performance. For a 66 gallon tank with a heavy bio-load I suggest that you look...

...of opinion on skimmers so you will likely get a wide range of suggestions. Personally I have been using Reef Octopus skimmers for over a decade and continue to be pleased with their performance. You may want to consider something in the 110 to 130 range. Good luck with the upgrade...
