Review: Best protein skimmer on the market - I’ve had many protein skimmers over the years and this is by far the easiest to use. It’s very durable and does the job better than the others I’ve used. Perfect size for my 60 gallon sump and very quiet. I recommend for anyone looking for a skimmer that will get the job done. Review: Great skimmer, excellent peformance once broken in. - Great skimmer! Took a little time to break in. I read that you can put the emptying tube into a container and just remove from tank rather then overflow. After a few days of overflow from skimmer to the socks I decided to try it. I emptied about a gallon in a few hours and then the skimmer was basically broken in. Another week to really dial it in. I have been leaving it rather wet in order to keep the main body clean. I just clean the collection cup every few days and it is way easier to do preventative maintenance like that then remove the whole skimmer once a month or several months even. The collection ranges from dark green/yellow to nearly black and smells awful when emptying however no bad smells in my office near display tank. Free Tip: use a zip strip with some foam filter floss on the output and you can get this skimmer to almost silent and no bubbles in return to sump. ## Features - In-sump protein skimmer for aquariums up to 150 gallons - Aquatrance 2000 Pinwheel Pump - offers super efficiency and the very best in performance - Bubble Diffusing Chamber and Full Cone Body that naturally reduce and stabilize the foam production; This means less turbulence in the neck area and more contact time for organics to rise and collect - Turbulence reducing bubble plate - Small Footprint: 12.4" x 8.7"; Body Diameter: 6"; Height: 22" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N45H3YO | | Best Sellers Rank | #140,540 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #679 in Aquarium Filters | | Brand | REEF | | Brand Name | REEF | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 73 Reviews | | Item Form | Apparatus | | Item Weight | 5 pounds | | Liquid Volume | 150 gallons | | Manufacturer | Reef Octopus | | Manufacturer Part Number | CLSC-150INT | | Model Number | CLSC-150INT | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Ornamental Fish | | UPC | 735343871986 793842666809 695029125188 950291202877 782195450005 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** REEF - **Item Form:** Apparatus - **Item Weight:** 5 pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 150 gallons - **Manufacturer:** Reef Octopus ## Images ![Octopus Classic 150INT Protein Skimmer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51z887fRTPS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best protein skimmer on the market *by P***K on December 6, 2025* I’ve had many protein skimmers over the years and this is by far the easiest to use.

Took a little time to break in. I read that you can put the emptying tube into a container and just remove from tank rather then overflow. After a few days of overflow from skimmer to the socks I decided to try it. I emptied about a gallon in a few hours and then the skimmer was basically broken in. Another week to really dial it in.

The collection cup just sits on top of the unit with an o-ring and pops right off, so there is nothing to take apart when cleaning time comes. It is simple to fine tune the water level with the gate valve. The venturi clips onto the unit and is extremely easy to clean and is not prone to clogging with salt unlike other brands. I was looking to upgrade our skimmers, and a fellow aquarist recommended the reef octopus brand, and I am glad we went with them. I have nothing bad at all to say about this skimmer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Reef Octopus Classic 150INT Protein Skimmer - CaribSea Arag-Alive 20 lb Fiji Pink Sand --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/11428135-octopus-classic-150int-protein-skimmer](https://www.desertcart.no/products/11428135-octopus-classic-150int-protein-skimmer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
