The Reef Octopus Elite 150-INT is a high-performance, in-sump protein skimmer designed to efficiently remove dissolved organic waste from your saltwater aquarium. Utilizing a powerful and controllable DC pump, this skimmer creates a dense foam that effectively strips proteins and other pollutants from the water column, leading to improved water clarity, oxygenation, and overall health for your reef inhabitants. Its advanced design ensures stable performance and provides aquarists with precise control over their nutrient export, making it a cornerstone of a robust filtration system.

Constructed from solid cast acrylic and machined PVC, the Elite 150-INT is built for durability and ease of maintenance. It features a turbulence-reducing 6-inch super cone body within a compact 11.4 by 10.4-inch footprint, standing 20.6 inches tall. The skimmer is powered by the whisper-quiet and efficient Reef Octopus VarioS-2S pinwheel pump, which is fully controllable via a detachable controller with five energy-saving settings. Advanced features include a safety float switch to prevent overflow, a simple "Twist & Lift" collection cup, multiple feed/pause modes, and a 0-10v input for integration with third-party aquarium controllers.

This protein skimmer is perfectly suited for the serious reef aquarist with a heavily stocked system up to 100 gallons, a medium bioload tank up to 160 gallons, or a lightly stocked aquarium up to 210 gallons. Hobbyists who demand precision, efficiency, and advanced safety features will find the Elite 150-INT an exceptional choice. The ability to fine-tune the pump's performance and integrate it with an external controller makes it ideal for maintaining pristine water conditions in a sophisticated reef environment.
