Achieving the correct water level is vital for large-scale skimmers; if they sit too deep, the increased backpressure on the pump reduces air intake and leads to inconsistent foam production. The ST-3 offers three height adjustment levels, allowing you to raise these heavy units to their \"sweet spot\" for peak organic removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed from premium, extra-thick acrylic, the ST-3 provides a rock-solid foundation for the Reef Octopus 3000, 5000, and Regal series skimmers. Its substantial footprint and solid platform design help absorb the significant mechanical vibrations generated by large-block skimmer pumps, contributing to a quieter overall system. With a surface area of 17.7 x 11 inches, it ensures that even wide-body skimmers remain level and stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eThree Precision Heights:\u003c\/b\u003e Easily toggle between 3, 3.8, or 4.5 inches to perfectly match your sump's fixed water level. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eVibration Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty acrylic platform acts as a buffer to silence pump resonance. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLarge Format Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Measures 17.7 x 11 inches to accommodate wide-base and high-volume skimmer models. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eIndustrial Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid acrylic build is designed to support the significant weight of large skimmers full of water. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eModular Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Simple height adjustment pegs allow for quick reconfiguration during sump maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003e3000 \u0026amp; 5000 Series:\u003c\/b\u003e Fits SRO-3000int, SRO-5000int, XP-3000int, and XP-5000int models. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eRegal Series Owners:\u003c\/b\u003e Compatible with Regal 200, 220, 250, and 300 (INT and SSS) protein skimmers. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eClassic 200\/250 Users:\u003c\/b\u003e Fits Classic 200int, 202, and 250int skimmer bodies. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eCommercial Sumps:\u003c\/b\u003e Systems with deep baffles where large skimmers require significant elevation to function.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CoralVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47322762412201,"sku":"ROP-SST3","price":101.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/4958\/0912\/files\/7ce92d28309eae974cc52033e7925850.jpg?v=1786228200","url":"https:\/\/worldwidecorals.com\/products\/rop-sst3","provider":"World Wide Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
