Product Questions
Hello-
I had this skimmer from 210 gallon that I had, when I moved I downgraded to a 120gallon. I've been using this skimmer in the 120 gallon for ~5-years now running 24-hrs a day, would say it is medium / heavy stocked with ~15 fish. I recognize it is oversized for the tank. I only have soft corals and LPS, but considering SPS and worried this is stripping too many nutrients out of water. I do get good skim but only get ~50% of collection cup full every 4-6 weeks. I wanted to see if I should be running it less perhaps 12-hours on a timer overnight with it off during day?Would running less be more suitable for tank size, or best to try and sell this and get the right size skimmer for a 120-gallon tank wit sump?
Thank you!
Doug

Hey there!
I would consider trying to get a more appropriate sized skimmer, by cutting the on time down you are really just guessing on how much your tank needs to skim. I would sell and buy a reasonably sized skimmer for your tank.
Take care

BRS recommended sump water depth is 6-6.5" and reef octopus suggest 7.9-8.7" Are you recommending a lower sump water level than the manufacturer?
Question by: Crystal Mechtel on Jul 27, 2017, 7:24 PM
Hey there,
Thanks for getting in touch with us in regards to skimmer submersion depth. I personally find that my reef octopus skimmers run the best right around 8". On this item I would follow what the manufacturer says. I am guessing the 6-6.5 is a general reference. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can assist with. Thanks!

Will this skimmer fit in my ruby 36s sump from trigger systems on the first chamber
Question by: Alberto Sanchez on Aug 1, 2014, 5:24 PM
Hi Alberto,
We don't carry those particular sumps here. How big is the chamber you have to work with?
