Yes they are. I think that is why your skimmer looks the way it does. It seems a lot of skimmer manufacturers are "emulating" EuroReef lately.

Glad you got a new one! I hope it serves you well. Post a pic of the "scum" when it really gets broken in!

Just tell your wife that having a tank teaches you all sorts of new DIY skills...which will save lots of money around the house...so you can buy more stuff for your tank...so you can learn more skills...

ive gotta get my new tank and set my sump up and do all the plumbing and everything else but hopefully in about 2 months it will be all set up.

Looks to me like the Reef Octopus skimmer. I've got the NW-200 and it's almost identical, just bigger. Good skimmer.

yeah i think they may be made by the same company because the pump is made by Octopus.
do you rate yours?

It works very well. I did reem out the elbow from the pump to the skimmer to make it a little wider and I drilled out the venturi hole to be able to slide in RO tubing. I added a flow meter to that to have better control of air and it is working better than stock. I also added the gate valve mod, really does nothing performance wise, just makes it easier to adjust when needed.
Good skimmer for the money. But I think there rating are greatly exaggerated.

mine will be on a 250lt tank and the skimmer is rated for 500lt so it should be ok.
i was thinking of doing the gate valve mod on mine aswell that way i can direct the flow in to a fliter sock, and have easyer controle over the flow.
