Hello, I picked up a large used reef octopus central unit for $10
It holds water fine
It is missing the various pvc attachments on the sides (which are cheap to pick up) and the pump (~$100) and collection cup, so I am looking to pick those up now to make a whole unit
However the reef octopus gives me no indication of the model number the only thing it has is an original price ticket of $349
It measures ~8 inches at the base, has black coloring. At the base are 3 outlets to the pump etc and about half way up is another outlet
Any guesses as the model, I need to know in order to get the correct size accessories
Thanks

Thanks, I seem to find almost all the plumbing parts I need on your site
For the gate valve - I would need 40mm not 50mm - correct?
and the small air silencer for 6" and smaller or should I go with the larger?
The one item I can not locate is the collection cup - where can I find that?
Your shipping charges are high also - you dont happen to have any coupon codes that could help me get all the bits I need :)

Yes, the skimmer is 40mm. Your skimmer has a 6" body so you will need the small silencer.
In terms of the collection cup, let me get a price quote and will get back to you. Need to make sure we have them in stock.
