Help Identify Protein Skimmer

[WhoDone IT]

Hey all,

Just joined and am looking for some help. I am trying to identify this protein skimmer. I was going through a bunch of stuff salt water supplies I had and came across it. Once identified, would it be too much for a 15 nano? I'm trying to avoid getting another one if this would work.

Sorry in advanced if I put this in the wrong section.

I believe it's one of the Boyu models....not sure which one.

@dew9000 I think you've got it! But boy, does that also look very similar to a Boyu. I wonder if the same Chinese company makes both skimmers?

Yup def a coralife skimmer. Works ok until you add anything to the tank, including top off water and it immediately starts to overskim

Agreed. I had one but got rid of it due to being noisy and tempermental

Thanks guys. It looks like this is the 125gal Superskimmer model.

Whoops. Hit Post a little prematurely. Sounds like I may want to still look at getting a different one. I want something pretty quiet. Was hoping to avoid the 100-200 for a new one but 'tis the hobby we enjoy.

I have the reef octopus sss110 series, can't even hear it unless I open door to sump. My tank is 29 gal plus 10 gal sump
