Description
Reef Octopus ST-2 Adjustable Protein Skimmer Stand
The Reef Octopus ST-2 Skimmer Stand is designed to help hobbyists achieve the "sweet spot" for their medium-sized protein skimmers. Proper water depth is critical for venturi-driven skimmers; if the unit is submerged too deeply, the pump must work harder to pull air, often resulting in inconsistent foam or overflowing. The ST-2 provides three height adjustment levels, allowing you to raise the skimmer to the manufacturer's recommended depth for peak organic removal.
Constructed from premium, heavy-duty acrylic, the ST-2 is built for the demanding environment of a saltwater sump. The solid platform design does more than just provide height; it helps absorb and dampen mechanical vibrations from the skimmer pump, leading to a quieter aquarium experience. With a 13 x 9 inch footprint, the ST-2 is the correct fit for the Reef Octopus 150 and 2000 series internal skimmers.
