If you modify the Atman SK-388 foam separator, the performance will not be much higher but stronger, and then it will work; otherwise, without modifications, it can handle up to 500 liters of lightly stocked soft coral.

Weak, it won't cope with the first dead oyster. Although, it depends on how the water is changed...
Robert
We change 80 liters of water once a week!

Good substitutions :-) How often do lobsters change? The less often they change, the cleaner the aquarium.
Maria6659
Every two weeks, sometimes once a month!
Sara
Well, everything will be fine as long as you don't exceed the number of animals and don't feed them. By the way, at what temperature do you keep them?
Wanda666
We never feed, the temperature is nine degrees! So nothing needs to be redone!?
Michael3221
Right now, everything is decided by substitutions. Tell me, why did you choose this particular skimmer?
Michelle5859
The price is not scary!
James3382
Aren't you worried about the cost of salt? Maybe you should consider "handmade" skimmers.
Chelsea567
I found it here, but it's only available by order now, and I don't have time to wait a month!
Alyssa1438
There is a lot of salt!
Jennifer5371
you will survive a month on substitutes

A dead oyster or lobster is a very heavy load. This foam separator will not handle the system when one or another organism dies, just like more expensive analogs designed for a volume of 500 liters. When it comes to content, that's one thing, but if a lobster or oyster dies... You need to think on a larger scale. Of course, if someone checks the aquarium every 5-6 hours and monitors for deaths, then this foam separator will manage.

Then suggest something else!

For example, in oyster farms, the oysters are sorted once a day in restaurants, while in supermarkets this should be done at least once every two days. Nothing serious will happen in a system that operates at 9-12 degrees over a day or two.

According to experience, the system: 800L display and 150L sump, population: ~250-300 oysters and 6-8 lobsters weighing 500-700 grams each. The skimmer is not working at all; I can only manage with water changes. (The skimmer is from a former decorative aquarium.)

You asked here as well.
The topic is the same. Why create duplicates?
As for equipment, I recommend the Inator II, the larger model, or something similar. A model without a cup that drains into a canal or bucket. It handles systems of 300-600 gallons (that's about one to two tons of water). You can set up two; they are narrow enough. Let both run at night, and during the day, just one. You can also place it on the floor.
Yes, you can attach a small auto-top-off system to it, about 20-30 liters of saltwater, but it's not necessary. Although... the temperature difference between the aquarium and the air is about 10-15 degrees?

I was just asking about this topic! Something is happening with the forum!

Good afternoon! Where can I buy it (inator II)?
Angel628
the fastest, most reliable, and quickest way is E-bay. delivery takes from 5 to 12 days. Moreover, the sellers there value their reputation more than the desire to profit from occasional buyers (there is a simple and reliable buyer protection system).
for example, here are the sellers from whom I have purchased something:
