• How often should I clean my Reef Octopus skimmer collection cup?

  It is recommended to clean the collection cup at least once every 7-10 days, depending on the bioload and amount of organic waste collected.

• How do I clean the skimmer body and pump?

  The skimmer body should be cleaned every 3-6 months with fresh water. The pump should also be cleaned every 3-6 months; check the impeller for debris and soak the pump in white vinegar if necessary to dissolve calcium deposits.

• What should I do if my VarioS pump is not working?

  Check if the impeller is blocked by debris or if the ceramic shaft is broken. Ensure the controller is receiving power and that no float switch or pause function is inadvertently activated.

• Why is my new protein skimmer overflowing?

  New skimmers require a break-in period of 1-2 weeks to stabilize. During this time, the skimmer may be sensitive to water chemistry changes. Adjust the water level valve and monitor closely to prevent overflow.
