Engineered for in-sump use, the Regal 150-INT combines a refined wine-glass body design with the cutting-edge control of the \u003cb\u003eVarioS-2S DC pinwheel pump\u003c\/b\u003e. This combination allows users to fine-tune air intake and water throughput with digital precision, making it an ideal choice for aquarists who demand a clean, stable environment for sensitive corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Regal 150-INT is the VarioS pump, which features a ceramic shaft and bearing for reduced wear and long-term reliability. Unlike traditional AC pumps, the VarioS provides a \"soft start\" and allows you to adjust flow rates via the included controller or a third-party aquarium computer. The integrated float switch provides an extra layer of security, preventing messy collection cup overflows by cutting power to the skimmer instantly when the waste level rises too high. With its high-quality cast acrylic build and easy-to-disassemble body, the Regal 150-INT is built for both performance and ease of maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarioS-2S Controllable Pump:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 energy-efficient power settings and a ceramic shaft for silent, long-lasting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWine-Glass Body:\u003c\/b\u003e Tapered shape naturally stabilizes foam as it rises toward the neck, increasing organic removal efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntegrated Safety:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a float switch sensor to prevent cup overflows and potential salt creep issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThird-Party Ready:\u003c\/b\u003e 0-10V port allows for full integration with aquarium controllers like the Neptune Systems Apex or GHL Profilux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEasy Maintenance:\u003c\/b\u003e Quick-release collection cup and a simple-to-adjust gate valve for precise water level control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBioload Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeavy Bioload:\u003c\/b\u003e 100 Gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium Bioload:\u003c\/b\u003e 160 Gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight Bioload:\u003c\/b\u003e 210 Gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Reef Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50482388074744,"sku":"REGAL-150INT","price":658.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/6909\/5160\/files\/6517d104c5d2146576cd9bdd375b674b.jpg?v=1789066880","url":"https:\/\/www.blueearthaquariums.com\/products\/octo-regal-150int-protein-skimmer","provider":"Blue Earth Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
