Reef Octopus ST-1 Adjustable Protein Skimmer Stand
The Reef Octopus ST-1 Skimmer Stand provides a simple and effective way to raise your protein skimmer to its ideal operating depth. Every skimmer has a "sweet spot" within a specific water level where the venturi can pull air most efficiently. If a skimmer sits too deep, it may overflow; too shallow, and it won't collect waste. The ST-1 allows you to fine-tune this height to ensure peak performance and consistent skimmate production.
Constructed from high-quality, solid acrylic, the ST-1 is designed to withstand the harsh environment of a saltwater sump. Beyond just height adjustment, the stand acts as a stable foundation that helps dampen audible vibrations from the skimmer pump, contributing to a quieter overall system. With a footprint of 11 x 7.5 inches, it is specifically sized for the Reef Octopus 1000 and 2000 series, among other compact models.
