Reef Octopus OTP 200 Nano Skimmer Pump
Maintaining proper waste extraction in desktop and nano reef aquariums requires a high-performance, compact drive motor. The Reef Octopus OTP 200 Skimmer Pump (SKU: OTP-200) is the official OEM replacement pinwheel pump built exclusively for the Reef Octopus NS-80 Nano Protein Skimmer. Despite its micro-sized footprint, this pump utilizes a specialized pinwheel impeller assembly to chop air and saltwater into a fine microbubble foam column, stripping organic waste before it breaks down into nitrate and phosphate.
The OTP-200 attaches directly to the NS-80 skimmer body's intake structure and connects to an integrated venturi air line. Its energy-efficient motor operates with minimal power draw and virtually zero vibration, keeping your nano aquarium running quietly while preserving stable water temperatures.

Installation & Replacement Guidelines:
Disconnect power to the NS-80 skimmer and remove the skimmer unit from your aquarium or rear filtration chamber.
Carefully detach the clear silicone air hose from the venturi nipple on the old pump casing.
Slide the old OTP-200 motor block off the NS-80 intake riser tube.
Push the new OTP-200 replacement pump onto the intake tube until fully seated and flush.
Reconnect the clear air line to the venturi port, place the NS-80 back in your tank, and plug in the power adapter.
Pro Tips
Routine Venturi Maintenance. Due to the micro-sized aperture on the NS-80 venturi intake, salt creep can accumulate rapidly. Soak the pump cover and venturi fitting in warm white vinegar every month to prevent air restriction and maintain thick foam production.
Maintain Proper Water Line Alignment. Position the NS-80 at the correct manufacturer-recommended water depth in your nano tank. If the OTP-200 pump is submerged too deeply, increased backpressure will reduce air intake and result in watery, wet skimmate.
