Replacement skimmer cups?

[damselindistress]

Hi all I shattered my collection cup on my reef octopus hob 90 today and am searching for a replacement but can't seem to find any online - are these things really that hard to come by?? Where am I overlooking this at?

Have you contacted Reef Octopus support to source a replacement?

I hadn't but I just sent them a request - thanks for that reminder!

Thank you - mine is the round cup, like the in sump skimmers. But thanks for taking the time to help me!

I don’t reckon you'll get one they will most likely expect you to buy a new unit unless there is a spares page on their website.

Yes I'm afraid that looks to be the case - super disappointing bc the skimmer works perfectly and is lightly used. I took a spill on my sidewalk yesterday after dumping my skimmer cup outside, when I fell the skimmer cup went flying and hit the concrete. Literally shattered into about a dozen pieces. Was surprised to see that happen.

At least you didn't hurt yourself! Sorry for your cup.

Or check ebay for a used skimmer of the same model, even if it's broken or missing parts, to salvage the cup and toss the rest.

I’m about to list one, same skimmer 6 months old no problem, if the company doesn’t respond….I couldn’t imagine they won’t help out though, that would be such bs to not be able to replace the cheapest part

Haha yes and thanks. Thanks to the good old Ring doorbell it provided my husband with some great gif material lol
