Description
Reef Octopus Elite 220-INT Super Cone Protein Skimmer
The Reef Octopus Elite 220-INT is a premier in-sump protein skimmer designed for large, high-bioload reef systems where water quality is the highest priority. As part of the prestigious Elite series, the 220-INT features the "Super Cone" body design—a precision-engineered taper that reduces internal turbulence and allows foam to stabilize and thicken as it rises toward the neck. This optimized shape ensures that even the most stubborn dissolved organic compounds are efficiently removed from the water column.
Powering the Elite 220-INT is the legendary VarioS-6S DC controllable pump. This industrial-grade motor allows you to digitally adjust the air-to-water mixture through five speed settings, providing the flexibility to tune the skimmer to your system's specific needs. For advanced systems, the integrated safety float switch provides essential protection by preventing messy collection cup overflows. With its heavy-duty build, geared output valve, and superior gas exchange capabilities, the Elite 220-INT is the professional choice for systems up to 530 gallons.
