Reef Octopus Regal 250-INT Protein Skimmer
The Reef Octopus Regal 250-INT is an elite-level in-sump protein skimmer designed for massive residential reef tanks and commercial displays. With a substantial 10-inch wine-glass body, this skimmer provides the volume necessary to handle heavy biological loads in systems up to 600 gallons. It is powered by the VarioS-6S DC controllable pump, which allows the user to digitally dictate the air-to-water ratio, ensuring perfect performance regardless of the tank's unique water chemistry.
The Regal series represents the intersection of luxury build quality and intelligent automation. The VarioS controller provides a "soft start" to prevent overflow upon startup and includes a waterproof connection for the included waste collector float switch. This safety feature is critical for large systems, as it instantly shuts down the pump if the collection cup reaches capacity. Constructed from high-quality cast acrylic and featuring a high-precision geared gate valve, the Regal 250-INT is built for the aquarist who refuses to compromise on filtration power or system safety.
