Classic 2000 HOB Protein Skimmer – Reef Octopus

Product details

The “Classic 2000 HOB Protein Skimmer – Reef Octopus” is a hang-on-back (HOB) protein skimmer designed for marine aquariums. It uses a design where the pump is mounted outside the aquarium and external to the skimmer body, which helps keep the equipment’s heat exchange away from the display water while also reducing the clearance needed behind the tank. In practical use, this skimmer pulls dissolved organic matter from the water by producing foam, then collects it in the skimmer’s collection area. The skimmer body is made from solid acrylic and is intended for straightforward cleaning and maintenance, including easy removal of the Aquatrance 2000s skimmer pump for service.
