Reef Octopus Classic 202-S In-Sump Protein Skimmer | Up to 265 Gallons

Premium Super Cone Performance for Demanding Reef Aquariums

The Reef Octopus Classic 202-S Protein Skimmer combines the proven reliability of the Classic Series with the enhanced performance of a Super Cone body design. Engineered for medium to large reef aquariums up to 265 gallons, the Classic 202-S delivers exceptional nutrient export while maintaining quiet, efficient operation.

Its hybrid Super Cone design naturally stabilizes and concentrates organic rich foam as it rises toward the collection cup, increasing skimming efficiency while producing consistent and reliable performance. Paired with Reef Octopus' renowned Aquatrance pinwheel skimmer pump, the Classic 202-S provides powerful filtration for even heavily stocked reef systems.

Why We Love It

Some protein skimmers impress you with technology. Others impress you because they simply refuse to stop working.

The Classic 202-S manages to do both.

We've always been big fans of the Reef Octopus Classic Series because of its proven reputation throughout the reef keeping community. The 202-S takes that legendary reliability and combines it with the improved foam concentration provided by the Super Cone body design.

If you're building the reef aquarium you've always dreamed about, this is exactly the type of equipment you'll never regret purchasing.

Why Protein Skimming Matters

Protein skimmers remain one of the most effective methods of nutrient export available to reef aquarists. By removing dissolved organic compounds before they have an opportunity to break down into nitrate and phosphate, protein skimmers help maintain stable water chemistry while promoting healthier coral growth.

Benefits include:

• Improved Water Clarity
• Reduced Organic Waste
• Increased Oxygen Exchange
• Better Nutrient Management
• Improved Coral Health
• Enhanced Water Stability
• Reduced Maintenance Requirements
