Reef Octopus Elite 150-S Space Saver Super Cone Skimmer
The Reef Octopus Elite 150-S is the premier choice for reef keepers who demand top-tier "Elite" performance within a "Space Saving" footprint. By integrating the high-performance VarioS-2S DC controllable pump directly inside the 6-inch reaction chamber, Reef Octopus has created a powerhouse filter that fits into compact sump compartments without sacrificing the efficiency of a full-size unit.
The defining feature of the Elite 150-S is the Super Cone body. Unlike standard cylinders, this tapered design naturally concentrates foam as it rises, reducing internal turbulence and allowing for a much more stable foam column. This results in significantly higher nutrient export for systems up to 210 gallons. Coupled with the intelligence of the VarioS controller—which features a 15/60 minute feed mode and a safety float switch—the Elite 150-S offers a level of control and security rarely found in compact skimmers.
