Built with a massive 10-inch cylindrical body, this skimmer provides the internal volume necessary to maintain extreme air-to-water contact time. At its heart lies the \u003cb\u003eBubble Blaster HY-5000S pump\u003c\/b\u003e, a motor specifically engineered from the ground up for protein skimming rather than adapted from a standard water pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SRO 5000-INT utilizes a specialized bubble plate to reduce turbulence within the reaction chamber. This allows the massive volume of micro-bubbles produced by the pinwheel impeller to rise smoothly, creating a stable foam column that efficiently carries organics into the collection cup. With its industrial-grade cast acrylic construction and oversized air silencer, the SRO 5000-INT delivers powerful nutrient export with the reliability demanded by serious reef hobbyists and professional curators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHY-5000S Bubble Blaster Pump:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a digital control circuit to monitor motor speed and a silicon carbide shaft for superior durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e10-Inch Reaction Chamber:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides massive volume for high-bioload systems up to 500 gallons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTurbulence Reduction:\u003c\/b\u003e The bubble plate diffuser ensures that the high-volume air intake doesn't disrupt foam formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEasy Maintenance:\u003c\/b\u003e The skimmer is designed to be fully disassembled, and the collection cup features a quick-release design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeavy-Duty Output:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a professional gate valve to perfectly \"dial in\" the internal water level regardless of sump fluctuations.\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 300 Gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium Bioload:\u003c\/b\u003e 400 Gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight Bioload:\u003c\/b\u003e 500 Gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Reef Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50482391318776,"sku":"SRO-5000INT","price":912.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/6909\/5160\/files\/b1fb4f4760f76ce5a40908da60b5b97a.jpg?v=1789066901","url":"https:\/\/www.blueearthaquariums.com\/products\/octo-sro-5000int-in-sump-protein-skimmer","provider":"Blue Earth Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
