Back to Protein Skimmers
Dependable and fail safe, now with quick release drainage.
Octopus Classic skimmers are designed to be flexible with dependability and performance in mind. Bi-directional reaction with turbo-charged needle wheel operation ensures optimum skimming efficiency. Whatever your reefing style, thereÂ’s an Octopus Classic unit to suit.
Bi-Directional Reaction Fuselage
Extends contact time of air and water by directing water flow in two directions, creating a twin cyclonic water path in the fuselage. This ensures water passing through the fuselage is free from organics.

Super-Streamed Performance
19 pin needle wheel impellers super-stream the fusion of air and water as it enters the chamber. This means more skimming action per motor rotation.

Energy Efficient Reefing
Classic is powered by Octopus Turbine Pumps (OTP). Using less wattage per litre & generating less heat compared to previous generations, these units deliver more efficient performance for your filter.

2008 Design improvements
23-Apr-2008
Octopus has made design improvements across our range of skimmers. All 2008 model skimmers now feature all new exclusive Octopus Venturi and Quick Release union. These significant changes improve on performance and user friendliness. New Octopus Venturi: The previous generation of venturi design distributes air along one point of the water pipe. The improved design disburses air along the entire circumference of the water pipe resulting in more fine streaming into the reaction chamber. New Quick Release union : In 2007, our users reported they wanted easier access to the reaction chamber for cleaning and overall less complex usage of their skimmers. The Quick release union makes maintaining your system a breeze. No more screws. Just lift and go. New improved product ranges: Classic Vortex Hurricane Module Core
