Hang-On-Back Design for Marine Aquariums Up to 130 Gallons

The Reef Octopus Classic 1000-HOB is an innovative hang-on-back protein skimmer designed specifically for marine aquariums. Its unique exterior pump placement minimizes the space required behind the tank, making it ideal for setups with limited space. This design also prevents any heat transfer from the pump to the aquarium water, ensuring optimal temperature stability for your aquatic environment.
