Reef Octopus Regal 200-INT Protein Skimmer
The Reef Octopus Regal 200-INT is a heavy-duty in-sump protein skimmer designed to be the filtration powerhouse for large-scale reef systems. Utilizing an 8-inch wine-glass body, the 200-INT is engineered to process massive amounts of organic waste while maintaining a stable foam column. At its core is the VarioS-4S DC pump, a high-flow pinwheel motor that gives the user digital control over the skimmer's performance, allowing for precise tuning based on the specific bioload of the tank.

The Regal series is defined by its "Regal" build quality and "VarioS" intelligence. The included controller not only manages pump speed but also features a dedicated feed mode and a waterproof connection for the integrated float switch. This safety sensor is a lifesaver for large systems, preventing the skimmer from overflowing and returning collected waste to the sump. With a high-quality gate valve for water level adjustment and a design that is easy to disassemble for deep cleaning, the Regal 200-INT is the professional choice for serious aquarists.
