My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
This is the Reef Octopus Regal 200SSS 8" Protein Skimmer with VarioS controller and has an electronic switch that senses high skim level and shuts off skimmer and alerts via alarm. It is only 5 months old and currently on my 660g tank and keeping up easily. The reason I am selling is I have a CA reactor in the way making it difficult to reach the unit for cleaning. I am therefore going to an external skimmer unit. I really don't want to part with this unit as I paid over $660 dollars but really have no choice now that reactor is installed and in the way.
These rarely if Ever go on sale. Expensive but worth every penny. I have the Original Box so this will ship very easily and safely. I have a US quote of $63 to ship so cannot come down on already Very discounted price of $460 Shipped (almost $230 Off) and after pP fees and ship, I am left with $366 - Half of what I paid
Reef Octopus In Sump 8" Space Saving Protein Skimmer from Reef Octopus - with a controllable VarioS DC pumps to process more or less water, depending on your setup with a pump integrated into the body of the skimmer saving precious space in the sump.
Space saving protein skimmers have the pumps encased within the body of the skimmer creating a much smaller footprint requirement. These types of skimmers are normally a slight bit taller than their counterpart, the increased height maximizes the amount of contact/dwell time and reaction chamber size allowing for greater filtration capabilities.
Filtration Handling
Medium Stocked Tank - Rated up to 275 gallons
Light Stocked Tank - Rated up to 400 gallons
