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.

Product Questions

I bought this for a future 250 gallon 50/75 gallon sump - heavily stocked with corals and as many fish as possible. The tank will be fed generously.
I will utilize a red sea fleece roller to complete my filtration.
Question is - should I have purchased a smaller skimmer ? Did I buy too big for my set up ?
Thanks guys
Question by: Jeff Parker on Mar 13, 2024, 4:40 PM
That skimmer may be a little bit large but if your system will be as stocked and overfed as you say, it should be okay in this instance.

How tall is the base chamber without the collection cup?
Question by: Chris on Nov 23, 2023, 8:11 PM
Hi there, thank you for reaching out! It would be about 16.5" without the collection cup.
