Description

Filter socks are so last year… these filter cups are all the rage!  The Octo Cup™ is designed to work with most popular sump configurations and is made of clear, 1/8″ acrylic.  All cups are priced individually.  Plastic clip to suspend bagged media (not on Eshopps or Red Sea MAX Nano).

Standard 4″ – Tube is 3.50” diameter and approx. 6” tall.  Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes.

Waterbox 2.75” – Introducing the world’s FIRST filter cup for small Waterbox tanks!!  This will fit the Marine, AIO and Cube models.  The tube itself is 2.25″ O.D. and available in 6″ or 10″ tall.  Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes.  Packing too tight will cause overflow.

Red Sea – Tube is 3” diameter and approx. 6” tall.  Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes.

Red Sea MAX Nano – Introducing the world’s FIRST filter cup for small these tanks!!  The tube itself is only 1.50″ O.D. (1.25″ I.D.) and available in 6″ or 10″ tall.  Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes. Packing too tight will cause overflow.

Eshopps – Introducing the world’s FIRST filter cup for Eshopps sumps that use rectangular filter socks!  My Eshopps cups will fit in the (approx.) 4″ x 6.5″ spaces in your Eshopps sump,  4” tall.  *** PLEASE BE AWARE THE OPENING ON THE SUMP NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 7″ x 4.5″ AND NEED ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO DROP STRAIGHT INTO YOUR SUMP.  THESE ARE RIGID ACRYLIC AND CANNOT BE MANIPULATED IF THE OPENING IS TOO SMALL!! ***

    Cup works great in eshopp sump. Getting good water flow through sump without water backing up changing water levels in tank.
    Highly recommended this is a must if you have the eshopp sump

  2. Jacob K. (verified owner)

    Fits my Waterbox AIO great and is a much better alternative to filter socks.

    No more socks…ever! This filter system has been the best thing since sliced bread. Love them.

  5. BOB FROEHLICH (verified owner)

    This was a perfect solution to constantly clogging socks on my grandson’s waterbox goldfish tank. Thanks, Matt!

    This filter cup works very well i am very pleased with it. It has replaced my always dirty hard to clean and expensive filter socks. I just add some pinky filter or filter floss and it keeps my tank sparking clean without all the fuss of socks. Also doubles as a place to add filter media bags for carbon or GFO. I looked a long time to find this filter cup in this size for my small AIO aquarium that uses small socks. This company does top notch work. I am completely happy with my purchase. I have been using it for months now and i will never go back to using filter socks and do not own any anymore.

    This is a great product. Very good quality. I would buy this again and other products for sure.

  11. Russell L. (verified owner)

    This is one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. My first order was received damaged due to the carrier. Matt immediately took care of the situation and sent me new product. The cups themselves are well made and I am looking forward to never using socks again!

    Perfect replacement for the filter socks. I’m using it in a waterbox aio 50.3 planted tank.

  14. Nicholas Sabatino (verified owner)

    For anyone still using socks and definitely for people with AIO waterbox designs. This is amazing…I burned those socks down. Man thank you thank you for making this. No one makes this size container for AIO water box. I will tell everyone about you.

    I ordered the Octo cups for my eshopps sump. They are the rectangular style cup. I couldn’t not find them anywhere except for Octo. I am extremely pleased with the quality and service. Highly recommend!!

    High quality stuff!

  22. Anthony Dellarte (verified owner)

    A bit pricey, especially if you need 4, but they are a overall cheaper alternative to 2.75 inch socks, which are not sold by too many companies.

  23. Alan S. (verified owner)

    Great product! High quality, perfect fit for my Waterbox aquarium.

  24. Marc G. (verified owner)

  25. Edward Raposo (verified owner)

    I’m so happy I bought this! I was having issues with flow through my Waterbox cube due to the factory filter sock getting clogged up easily and restricting flow. The minute I put this in my tank the problem was solved. Thank you!!

  26. Anonymous (verified owner)

  33. Gary (verified owner)

    The Octocup is well made and fits right into the waterbox. I am using filter media recommended by Octo Aquatics and this method is far cheaper than buying expensive filter soxs on a regular basis. Great idea O.A. I believe you are the only one doing this.

  34. Anonymous (verified owner)
