The new and innovative Reef Octopus Regal 200-EXT recirculating protein skimmer supplies powerful filtration for aquariums up to 400 gallons where absolute control is necessary. The Reef Octopus Regal 200-EXT is constructed of high-quality cast acrylic that disassembles completely for cleaning. Its hybrid conical body naturally stabilizes and concentrates the organic rich foam as it rises.This Regal skimmer is equipped with a new generation Reef Octopus controllable Direct Current Varios 4S pinwheel skimmer pump which are the latest in variable speed flow technology and allows for refined control, enhanced performance and efficiency. The vast majority of skimmer pumps available to hobbyist are alternating current "AC" pumps (the type of power that comes out of your wall outlet). Direct current pumps have several key advantages over traditional AC pumps. Most notably, you can control the rotational speed of the motor, thus electronically control air and water flow rates into the skimmer. Now the user can have the skimmer process more or less water just by the push of a button!!!The Reef Octopus DC Controllable Skimmer Pump allows users to select between five pre-set speeds indicated by five lit LEDs. The controller also features a feed/service and an On/Off button. When the feed button is pressed, the skimmer pump shuts down and will automatically reactivate after 10 minutes. Press the feed button a second time to resume normal operation.RO DC pumps feature a true slow start-up where the pump slowly ramps up from zero RPM to the full pre-set speed over a period of approximately 10 seconds. The pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union. The detachable controller will allow for a simple waterproof union. The volute can rotate to change the pump's output orientation in 90 degree intervals, meaning users can output water vertically (up or down) as well as horizontally.Features 5 Controllable Energy Efficient Power Settings Detachable Controller with Waterproof Union Float Switch Safety 0-10v Input for 3rd Party Controllers Solid Cast Acrylic Construction Disassembles for Easy Cleaning High Volume Air Intake Quiet Operation Technical Specifications Capacity with Light Filtration Demand: 400 Gallons Capacity with Medium Filtration Demand: 300 Gallons Capacity with Heavy Filtration Demand:200 Gallons Hybrid Cone Body: 8in Footprint: 15.7in x 13.8in Total Height: 25.4in Warranty: 2 year coverage on pump - 1 year on rotor - 1 Year on skimmer body Pump Information Reef Octopus Controllable Varios 4s Pinwheel Pump Power Consumption: 25-40watts Voltage: DC 24V Air Draw: 800-1500lph / 28-52SCFH* Max Water Draw: 422gph *Air and water results will vary depending on aquarium setup Average special order turn-around time is approximately 7-10 business days to our facility.
