The Reef Octopus CLSC-150SS Classic Space Saver is an in-sump protein skimmer designed to efficiently remove dissolved organic compounds from your saltwater aquarium. By creating a dense foam of fine air bubbles, it effectively strips proteins and other waste materials from the water column before they can break down into harmful nitrates and phosphates. This process is crucial for maintaining superior water quality, promoting coral health, and ensuring crystal clear water in your reef tank.

The skimmer features a compact footprint of just 7.3 by 9.5 inches and a total height of 20.9 inches, making it ideal for tight sump compartments. It is powered by the reliable and efficient Aquatrance 2000s pinwheel pump, which consumes only 18 watts of power while drawing an impressive 720 liters per hour of air. The CLSC-150SS is constructed for durability and performance, designed to operate in a recommended sump water depth of 7 to 8 inches for optimal and stable foam production. The unit is backed by a manufacturer warranty covering the pump, rotor, and skimmer body.

This protein skimmer is perfectly suited for the modern reef aquarist with a moderately stocked aquarium who needs powerful filtration without sacrificing valuable sump space. Its space-saving design makes it an excellent choice for all-in-one style sumps or any system where real estate is at a premium. For hobbyists seeking a proven, reliable, and energy-efficient solution to organic waste export, the Reef Octopus CLSC-150SS offers exceptional performance in a thoughtfully designed package.
