Octo SRO 5000S Space Saver Protein Skimmer

Reef Octopus SRO 5000-SSS Space Saver Protein Skimmer

The Reef Octopus SRO 5000-SSS (Super Reef Octopus) is the ultimate solution for large-scale reef systems where filtration performance is non-negotiable but sump space is limited. By mounting the legendary Bubble Blaster HY-5000S pump directly inside the massive 10-inch skimmer body, Reef Octopus has managed to fit a 500-gallon capacity filter into a remarkably compact footprint.

The SRO series is defined by the Bubble Blaster pump, widely considered one of the most reliable and efficient pinwheel motors in the industry. Unlike standard pumps, the Bubble Blaster features a digital control circuit that monitors the motor's status and a silicon carbide shaft for extreme wear resistance. The skimmer body is constructed from high-grade cast acrylic and features a turbulence-reducing bubble plate and an oversized air silencer. With its combination of a large-volume reaction chamber and internal pump design, the SRO 5000-SSS provides professional-grade nutrient export without dominating your entire sump.
