Hi everyone!
I certainly hope, that I can get better help here than supporters from coralvue.

Anywho, I have, which looks like an older model reef octopus skimmer. It was just given to me as it. Yeah, I may need to replace certain parts but more importantly, I need to know the name or model number of this skimmer. And perhaps, I can find a pump that works with this skimmer. If you look closely at the body of the skimmer, does it appear to have 2 intake ports for 2 pumps? What?
Any help from this great community is probably better than the response I got from coralvue. They said, sorry can't help you, I looked at our current models to see if there was something similar but couldn't find a match. That's basically it in a nutshell. I did the same thing before I contacted them, looking online. Lol

Unfortunately I have no info for that skimmer ( had countless issues with their skimmers ) but what you can do is contact reef octopus directly with photos of your skimmer and they should be able to give you any parts lists that you will need.
Looking at what is missing you will probably pay more to get this working correctly than just buy a new better skimmer different brand (my 2 cents)
As for the sump there is way too many variables. Most sumps on the market list the skim chamber dimensions. All you have to do is measure your skimmer and see if it will fit to the sump specs.
