The NS 80 Nano Protein Skimmer by Reef Octopus is a compact yet powerful filtration device designed for smaller saltwater reef aquariums. It efficiently removes dissolved organic compounds and waste products from the water column, preventing their breakdown into harmful nutrients and ensuring pristine water quality for your delicate coral and fish inhabitants. This nano skimmer is powered by an OTP 200s Pinwheel Pump, known for its reliable performance and effective air-water mixing. With a slim 2-inch body, a small 4-inch by 2.4-inch footprint, and a total height of 11 inches, it's ideal for sumps with limited space. It is rated for light filtration demand on a 25-gallon tank, medium demand on a 15-gallon tank, and heavy demand on a 10-gallon tank. The manufacturer provides a 1-year warranty on both the pump and the skimmer body. The NS 80 Nano Protein Skimmer is perfectly suited for hobbyists with nano or smaller reef tanks who require robust organic waste removal without taking up excessive space. Its efficient design and powerful pump make it an essential component for maintaining a stable and healthy reef environment, ensuring the well-being of your aquarium's ecosystem by consistently exporting pollutants.
