Hello,

I am looking to double the water volume on my current reef system from 110 gallons to 210 gallons. If I purchase the neck extension to my Octo Ext 200 skimmer with a bubble blaster 3000 pump, will that handle a 210 gallon system with ease? Half of my corals are SPS.

Which neck extension will I need to my skimmer?

Thank you
Jordan Strychalski

Upgrading the pump to a BB3000 would initially change your skimmer into the SRO 3000 int which is capable of handling aquariums up to 300gallons. The neck extension required for your skimmer is a NK200.

Jeremy,

Thanks a lot for your info. It looks like my skimmer will support my new system just fine. Will adding a neck extension be worth it? Would it increase the efficiency of the skimmer?
