Any one heard of or had a Reef Octopus Diablo skimmer. Bought it used. Looking for directions / set up info. I can't find anything on it. Any help is appreciated.

If it’s a xs160 diablo you can look here for proper water height. Beyond that reef octo instructions are alway pretty lackluster. Basically set the proper body water height and then adjust the the water with the gate valve so that the water level is right at the base of the cup. That usually is a good starting point.
