The XP8000 is a high-performance, recirculating external protein skimmer designed to provide superior water purification for large saltwater aquarium systems. Powered by the formidable Bubble Blaster 10000s pinwheel pump, this unit efficiently removes dissolved organic waste, resulting in clearer water and a healthier environment for your marine life. Its robust external design integrates seamlessly into advanced sump and filtration setups, offering powerful and reliable performance for the most demanding reef tanks.
This skimmer features a full conical body with a bubble diffusing chamber, a design that naturally stabilizes foam production for increased organic contact time and reduced turbulence in the neck. Key features include an LG Air Silencer for quiet operation, a large collection cup with a waste drain, and a precision control output valve for effortless tuning. Constructed from solid acrylic, the XP8000 has a substantial 24 by 20.5-inch footprint and stands 38 inches tall, capable of handling a maximum feed rate of 2,200 gallons per hour.
Ideal for the dedicated aquarist with a very large or heavily stocked reef aquarium, the XP8000 is built for maximum filtration efficiency. Its external recirculating nature provides consistent performance independent of sump water levels, making it a reliable choice for advanced hobbyists. If you require uncompromising water quality and have a large system volume that demands a powerful and efficient filtration solution, this skimmer is engineered to meet and exceed those needs.
