Features and convenience of in-sump skimmers for marine aquariums without a sump-style filter. Reef Octopus Classic 90 HOB Protein Skimmer combines the benefits of a conical in-sump skimmer with the installation ease of a hang-on unit. Bubble diffusing chamber and hybrid cone body stabilizes foam production to boost efficient waste-removing performance for clearer, cleaner marine aquariums.

Skimmer inlet features a surface skimmer to remove oily surface film and organics from the water surface that would otherwise accumulate and hinder light penetration. Foam sponges on skimmer outlet helps prevent microbubbles from entering the aquarium. Large easy-to-remove collection cup simplifies maintenance. Solid acrylic construction.
