Improved Compact Performance
As one of the Reef Octopus Classic Series skimmers, this compact skimmer will provide excellent filtration for aquariums up to 200 gallons where sump space may be limited.
As with every Reef Octopus protein skimmer, the Classic 160 is constructed of high quality cast acrylic and features a gate valve for more precise control of water levels within the skimmer, a quick release neck for easy cup removal, cup drain, bubble diffuser, air shredding Aquatrance 2000s pinwheel pump and air silencer.
