Small Footprint, BIG on Performance

The Reef Octopus Classic 225int conical body protein skimmer packs the similar performance of high-end skimmer but at an affordable price. A member of the Reef Octopus Classic Series family, this compact skimmer provides efficient filtration for aquariums up to 320 gallons where sump space may be limited.

As with every Reef Octopus protein skimmer, the Classic 225int is constructed of high-quality cast acrylic and features an easy to adjust gate valve, a quick release neck for easy cup removal, cup drain, bubble diffuser, air shredding Aquatrance pinwheel pump and air silencer.

Key Benefits only found on this Classic Skimmer model

- Small Footprint without sacrificing  performance or valuable space within the sump

- Bubble Diffusing Chamber and Full Cone Body that naturally reduces and stabilizes the foam production; This means less turbulence in the neck area and more contact time for organics to rise and collect

- Power provided by the Reef Octopus Aquatrance 3000s pinwheel pump which offers super efficiency, quiet operation and stellar performance

Bioload Handling
