Reef Octopus pipe sizes...

[Shawn O]

I have a Reef Octopus Classic 90 HOB skimmer I want to mod. I want to add a 3/4" tee between the elbows on the intake pipe (see arrow in pic) for my bio-pellet reactor's output. I've heard these chinese skimmers use metric thread fittings. Is the pipe on this skimmer a metric diameter (if there is such a thing) or is it standard 3/4" pipe?

TIA, Shawn

I believe they are metric sizes, but try posting in the Reef Octopus forum and they can let you know for sure

Yep metric. Just measure and convert then look online for the size t you need.
