What model reef Octopus skimmer is this

[hkgar]

I got this skimmer along with a 180 tank I purchased and would like to know what model number it is?
Also, any comments about it you might want to make.

The skimmer tank is 21 inches high and 8 inches diameter. The recirculation pump is a OTP 3000

I am not sure why a cap was siliconed on to the top of the stand pipe. Any ideas?

I believe it is a newer version of this one:

I use the 4" version and like it. They are bulky though.

Any one know where I could find a manual for this skimmer? Primarily want to know where it should stand relative to water level in sump?

Its an external skimmer. It doesn't really have an operating water level.
It can be used as an in sump because it has a waterproof pump. Just don't cover the output with water.

These would be the closest directions available on the web site.
