Also by placing the pump outside the skimmer and the aquarium there is no heat exchanged to the water. This design also allows for easy removal of the pump for cleaning and maintenance. The Reef Octopus® skimmers are powered by the Aquatrance 1000s Pinwheel Pump. They are built with high quality acrylic. The Octopus skimmers uses metric plumbing parts.
