Super Reef Octopus XP-2000SSS Cone Protein Skimmer

Cone mania continues with the new Octopus XP-2000SSS (Super Sump Saver) protein skimmer hitting the market at the end of this month. The latest Octopus skimmer is going to be a hit amongst those of you with small sump spaces. It literally has a footprint of 8” x 10” and 26” tall. That is a whole lot of skimmer packed into such a small space. It has the same footprint as the popular Octopus Extreme 160 sump-savers.

A bonus - a gate valve is utilized with this model instead of the common wedge pipe. It is powered by the new bubble blaster 3000 pump, bubble plate, silencer, drain plug and high polished/well constructed cone skimmer body.

great article again Matt

looks like good value to me, I would like to see some user reviews on this in future
in fact if I see one out here, I would be tempted to buy and try myself

I like the look of these cone skimmers

Steve

 

may look at getting one with my upgrade i will be doing soon, thanks Matt!!

 

Sweet twist on the XP-2000. This will be helpful for many... I know I initially was concerned about the large footprint of the XP-2000. Looks like they took away the concern for many by adding more money

Curious to see what the recommended water level is on this. mine is 5-6 inches.

 

This was part of the description, not sure if this is a stock footer or part of this skimmer specifically:
***All Skimmers perform best in 8” to 10” of water**

 

Geez dont know how I missed that. I think a higher water level is nice. a max of 6 is a bit on the low side.

 

That is sweet.. now if I only had a big tank to stick it under..

 

I agree.

 

LOL ... my sentiments exactly
