Aquatrance Skimmer Pumps offer a cost-effective and high-performance solution for maintaining optimal water quality in saltwater reef aquariums. These pumps serve as direct replacements for specific Reef Octopus Classic protein skimmer models, ensuring your nutrient export system continues to operate efficiently. Designed for skimmers with large grey threaded outputs, they provide reliable functionality at an economical price point, making them an excellent choice for routine maintenance or upgrades.

Key features include an efficient pinwheel design, which is crucial for effective air and water mixing within the protein skimmer body. For instance, the Aquatrance 1000s model delivers a maximum flow of 92 gallons per hour and a max air intake of 420 liters per hour (15 SCFH), all while consuming just 9 watts of power. With compact dimensions of 4.5″ x 2.4″ x 3.6″, these pumps are built to fit seamlessly into their intended skimmer models. Each pump comes with a 2-year warranty on the pump itself and a 1-year warranty on the rotor.

These pumps are best suited for reef aquarists who own compatible Reef Octopus protein skimmer models, such as the CLSC-110, NWB-110SSS, CLSC-1000HOB, and BH-100, among others. They are ideal for those seeking a direct, high-quality replacement to restore or enhance their skimmer's performance without a significant investment. Their energy efficiency and robust design make them a smart choice for ensuring continuous, effective waste removal and crystal-clear water in a wide range of saltwater aquarium setups.
