The Q8 Commercial Foam Fractionator is a high-capacity protein skimmer engineered for superior waste removal in large-scale saltwater systems. It efficiently strips dissolved organic compounds and other pollutants from the water column, promoting exceptional water clarity and a healthier aquatic environment. By creating a dense foam, it isolates and removes waste before it can break down into harmful nitrates and phosphates.

This unit is powered by a formidable array of six Reef Octopus Bubble Blaster 10000 pinwheel pumps, which aggressively chop air and water to generate a massive volume of microbubbles. These bubbles are injected into a 40-inch diameter reaction chamber holding approximately 250 gallons of water, maximizing contact time for effective nutrient export. The skimmer is fully compatible with ozone via direct venturi ports for enhanced safety and performance, and features an easily removable collection cup for simple maintenance.

Designed for the most demanding applications, the Q8 is the ideal filtration solution for commercial aquaculture facilities, public aquarium and zoological exhibits, large-scale seafood holding systems, and research institutions. It is rated for systems ranging from 20,000 to 26,500 gallons, providing the robust and reliable performance required to maintain pristine water quality in very large and heavily stocked aquatic environments.
