Asking $575
I used this for 4 weeks and it is too big for my setup. I bought oversized thinking I would upgrade tanks in a year or two, but sizing down tot the 150 was better for my current tank. After price+tax this will cost you $723 at the shop or BRS. So my mistake will save you a lot.
BRS Recommended for tanks up to:
\Heavy Bioload (Most Common) - 150 Gallons
Medium Bioload - 275 Gallons
Light Bioload - 400 gallons
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. Footprint - 11.6″ x 9.7″ Height - 23.6″ Recommended Water Height: 7"-8.5" Reef Octopus Regal Skimmers now incorporate the new VarioS S pinwheel series of pumps. The new pumps are DC powered allowing for several advantages over traditional AC style pumps. The VarioS pumps can be fully controlled by a 3rd-party controller, or through the included control unit. With 5 different preset speeds and multiple feed modes, you can fine-tune Regal skimmers for superior performance on your particular system. 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.
