Classic EXT Skimmer Setup Guide
The Classic 200EXT skimmer requires a feed pump to feed water to the skimmer. The recommended maximum flow rating for this skimmer is 600 GPH. These numbers are based on zero back pressure on the output plumbing. If you add 90°bends on the plumbing back to a sump you may need to back off the amount of water being fed through the skimmer. We recommend that you use a ball valve inline from your feed pump to the skimmer allowing you to control the water flow.
- High performance venturi air injection system
- Modified cone neck design designed for easy transition of micro bubbles into cup
- Requires a feed pump or plumbed from an overflow to inject water into skimmer
- Can be in sump or external
- Metric plumbing parts
- 1 year warranty on skimmer and pump
Note: A feed pump is required that can flow around 1.5 - 2 times the systems volume. We suggest a pump around 400 - 600 GPH, and particularly like the VarioS 4 Controllable DC pump or Sicce Syncra Silent 3.0, we also highly recommend a gate valve to help control and fine tune the flow of water into the skimmer from the feed pump.

Product Questions
We don't currently sell replacement parts for the Reef Octopus skimmers (thankfully they're rarely needed), but if you ever do need to get some for your skimmer, they can be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
Have a great day!
