Reef Octopus skimmer replacement parts

Small Parts, Not a New Skimmer: A Guide to Reef Octopus Replacement Cup Lids and Valves

A cracked collection cup lid or a worn-out output valve doesn't call for replacing your whole skimmer — both are simple, inexpensive parts on their own. Reef Octopus stocks direct OEM replacements for both, keeping an otherwise-sound skimmer in service.

Collection Cup Lid

The Lid 250 Black is the correct replacement collection cup lid for SRO-5000INT and compatible Reef Octopus skimmers — the part to order if your skimmer's cup lid has cracked, warped, or gone missing, rather than replacing the entire cup assembly.

Gate Valve

The Reef Octopus 75mm Gate Valve is a metric PVC fitting (approximately 3 inches) used as a precision output valve on large Reef Octopus skimmers, letting you fine-tune output flow rather than running wide open or fully restricted.

Before You Order

  • Confirm compatibility with your specific skimmer model before ordering either part.
  • Check your existing plumbing size against the 75mm gate valve spec to confirm a proper fit.
