Reef Octopus Regal 250-INT Protein Skimmer
The Reef Octopus Regal 250-INT is an elite-level in-sump protein skimmer designed for massive residential reef tanks and commercial displays. With a substantial 10-inch wine-glass body, this skimmer provides the volume necessary to handle heavy biological loads in systems up to 600 gallons. It is powered by the VarioS-6S DC controllable pump, which allows the user to digitally dictate the air-to-water ratio, ensuring perfect performance regardless of the tank's unique water chemistry.
Why Buy Your Reef Octopus / CoralVue Product From World Wide Corals:
- We run this equipment ourselves. Reef Octopus skimmers and pumps keep our own coral holding and grow-out systems running — this isn't just a catalog SKU to us.
- Sizing and setup help from people who actually keep corals. Not sure which model fits your tank, sump, or flow needs? Our team can help you choose and set it up correctly the first time.
- Bundle and save. Add your Reef Octopus equipment to your next coral or dry goods order and consolidate shipping — something a standalone equipment retailer can't offer.
- Trusted by hobbyists and public aquariums worldwide.

The Regal series represents the intersection of luxury build quality and intelligent automation. The VarioS controller provides a "soft start" to prevent overflow upon startup and includes a waterproof connection for the included waste collector float switch. This safety feature is critical for large systems, as it instantly shuts down the pump if the collection cup reaches capacity. Constructed from high-quality cast acrylic and featuring a high-precision geared gate valve, the Regal 250-INT is built for the aquarist who refuses to compromise on filtration power or system safety.
