Reef Octopus Essence 130 Protein Skimmer Collection Cup Lid
The Reef Octopus Essence 130 Collection Cup Lid is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to maintain the enclosed environment necessary for efficient skimming. While often overlooked, the lid plays a vital role in directing the foam downward into the cup reservoir and suppressing the acoustic resonance of the bubbles breaking within the neck. This lid is specifically molded to fit the unique dimensions of the Essence S-130 collection cup.
Constructed from the same heavy-duty, saltwater-safe acrylic as the rest of the Essence line, this lid ensures a secure fit that prevents messy salt creep from forming on the exterior of your skimmer. Whether your original lid has become cracked, heavily scratched, or lost during a cleaning session, this genuine Reef Octopus part returns your skimmer to its original factory appearance and functional performance.

Pro Tips:
Keep the underside clean.
Skimmate often splashes against the bottom of the lid. If a thick layer of organic waste builds up, it can harbor bacteria and increase odors in your fish room. Wipe the underside of the lid every time you empty the cup.
Avoid harsh chemicals. Never use glass cleaners or alcohol-based sprays to clean your acrylic lid, as these can cause "crazing" or small cracks in the material. A simple rinse with warm tap water is usually all that is needed to keep it clear.
Check for level seating. If the lid is not sitting flat, it may vibrate against the cup and create a humming sound. Ensure there is no dried salt or debris on the cup rim that could prevent the lid from making full contact.
