The Reef Octopus Super Reef Octopus XP8000 is a high-performance, in-sump protein skimmer designed to provide superior water filtration for very large saltwater aquariums. Its primary function is to aggressively remove dissolved organic waste from the water column, resulting in improved water clarity, reduced nitrates, and a healthier environment for corals and fish. The skimmer utilizes a full conical body, which enhances stable foam production and efficiently channels organics into the collection cup for easy removal.

This model is powered by the highly efficient Reef Octopus Bubble Blaster 10000s pinwheel pump, engineered to generate a massive volume of fine bubbles with low energy consumption and minimal heat transfer. Key features include a bubble diffusing chamber that reduces turbulence and increases contact time, an oversized air silencer for quiet operation, and a large collection cup with a directional guide and drain. A precision output valve allows for easy and accurate control over the skimmer's performance. The unit has a substantial footprint of 21.5 by 15 inches and stands 37.5 inches tall, with a 16-inch body diameter.

Engineered for serious aquarists, the SRO XP8000 is the ideal choice for heavily stocked reef or fish-only systems up to 1000 gallons. Its robust build quality, powerful pump, and advanced design make it perfect for hobbyists and professionals who demand reliable and aggressive nutrient export to maintain pristine water conditions. If you are managing a large-scale aquatic display, this skimmer provides the performance needed to support a thriving and delicate ecosystem.
