Reeflo orca 250 manual?

[Woodneers]

Does anyone have a reeflo orca 250 manual laying around? I jumped straight off the deep end with this one! I’m upgrading a bit from a 75 to a 225 and purchased this orca but have no idea how external skimmers should work especially one like this! Thanks for the help!

Has anyone even heard of this skimmer?

I have that model,its a skimming beast looks like it is missing the risier tube thats how you adjust it and where the water comes out

Thank you! This is quite helpful. I can’t wait to fire this puppy up. I have two skimmer cups for it, one is much larger than the other. Any tips for tuning it?

Adjust till the bubble are about even with the neck and watch it work

I ran the 200 on a 300 gallon, it was a great skimmer, it was chilly by coral vue originally and branded by Reeflo. I fed mine from a tee in the return line.
