Its a Great Skimmer! - With a reputation like Reef Octopus skimmers have, my review really doesn't matter much. Using in a Eshopps sump and cannot ask for better results. Expect a break in period of 1-2 weeks before you get any real results of skimmate, so don't get discouraged wait for the setup to work. You will also need to find the perfect balance for your sump setup and air vs. flow mixture using the flow valve, which changed once it "broke in". When it did, it produces! My 90 gallon reef tank creates enough where I have to empty it about every 3-4 days+ and it is nasty green/brown stinky skimmate... better out than in right? if you are going on a vacation... it does have a drain plug on the collection cup to setup if desired. Otherwise you get get a much better sump skimmer for the value and price than a Reef Octopus. To compare... I also own a Aqua-C Remora (another great skimmer) from another tank (hang on tank model) and the reef octopus produces wet skimmate more than the drier skimmate that the Aqua-C makes (totally different skim methods though. I would have used it but the rating is for 75 gallons or less. Add a comment before you say not helpful I will try to reply. Thanks. Review: This is THE skimmer for a smaller reef - I put this on a 40b display + 20g sump system. It replaced an SCA301 skimmer. Out of the box: dead silent. Huge amount of foam and microbubbles. No gunk getting skimmed out, just a ton of foam. Then I left it alone and went on vacation for a week and a half. Now: Not super silent, but still very quiet. The cup is full of very dark skimmate. Being able to detach the cup easily means it's very simple to clean. The SCA skimmer is in storage and I still need to clean it but the difference in performance is extremely impressive. ## Features - Coral vue octopus 4-inch needle wheel skimmer 100gal - Reef octopus pinwheel/needle wheel skimmers provide you with a high performance features in an easy to use package - New pinwheel impellers provide up to 100% improved performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 292 Reviews | ## Images ![Classic 110-INT Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer for Aquarium - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KokXyiFbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How deep does the water have to be in the sump?** A: According to the enclosed directions: 180-200 mm/7-7.9 inches for the 110-INT 200-220 mm/7.9-8.7 inches for the 150-INT & 200 INT **Q: model number is INT which is installed inside sump but photo is an EXT which is installed outside.

I only have about 55 gallons Between my display and sump, with about 12 small fish. It took a few weeks to break in but this skimmer of perfect for me now. It’s meant for a 110 gallon setup, but i have a heavier bio load, over feed sometimes, and also reef roids 2-3x a week, so it can get really messy. But this size seems to work perfect. Anyone that has a similar setup to mine and it’s unsure if this skimmer will be to big don’t be afraid of it. Eventually your bio load should catch up with it. I just put a ball valve on the intake of the skimmer to reduce the air to about 65%, this immediately fixes micro bubbles even if it’s only a few days old. Eventually you can add more air through the ball valve if you feel like the load is increasing. Also check out bulkreefs videos on tuning skimmer if you’re having trouble. ;) Happy Skimming! ## Frequently Bought Together - Reef Octopus Classic 110-INT Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer for Aquarium - Instant Ocean Reef Crystals Reef Salt, Formulated Specifically For Reef Fish Tank Aquariums --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2335213-classic-110-int-needle-wheel-protein-skimmer-for-aquarium](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2335213-classic-110-int-needle-wheel-protein-skimmer-for-aquarium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
