Although we’ve heard talks about Reef Octopus putting out “cone” skimmers before, the Super Reef Octopus XP-2000 is the first cone skimmer we’ve seen from the Chinese manufacturer. Take a look at the Hurricone to see what we mean, somewhat of a half-cone if you ask us. This new real cone skimmer from Reef Octopus will feature the capable bubble blaster 2000 water pump, hopefully with the slammin clear volute, which you can see in action for yourself in this video. This cone body and pump combination boasts respectable specs but at a low price that will make you think that there has to be a catch: 1400lph of air while drawing 30 watts but for the low price of $399 and a 3 year warranty to boot! We’ll be scratching our heads trying to figure what we’re missing but the product shot definitely makes it appear as of a solid build. We won’t actually know the true performance and value of the XP-2000 makes until it into user’s hands, you’ll let us know if you get one right?
