Hey all, I just installed a new Reef Octopus classic 2000 HOB skimmer . I LOVE it so far, but my question is in watching a you tube video on it , the guy says you can use the side chamber where the return plumbing is for different media . Does anyone have this skimmer? Is this true? If so have you used it in that respect? What type of media? I know, that’s several questions all rolled in.

Same for the 1000 (and any type with this design).
My friend runs carbon in a bag through it.....you could run any type of media thru it......he also drips Kalk at this point (tank is on other side of wall where skimmer is).

Awesome, thank you! Just a bonus of this bad butt skimmer!
