Description

Reef Octopus SRO 5000-INT In-Sump Protein Skimmer

The Reef Octopus SRO 5000-INT (Super Reef Octopus) is a high-capacity in-sump protein skimmer designed to be the primary filtration engine for large reef systems. Built with a massive 10-inch cylindrical body, this skimmer provides the internal volume necessary to maintain extreme air-to-water contact time. At its heart lies the Bubble Blaster HY-5000S pump, a motor specifically engineered from the ground up for protein skimming rather than adapted from a standard water pump.

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.

Support: Need help with setup, programming, or warranty support? Reach out directly to CoralVue Support — the manufacturer's team can walk you through everything from controller setup to troubleshooting.

Warranty: This product is backed by the manufacturer's official warranty. See full terms here: Warranty | CoralVue.

The SRO 5000-INT utilizes a specialized bubble plate to reduce turbulence within the reaction chamber. This allows the massive volume of micro-bubbles produced by the pinwheel impeller to rise smoothly, creating a stable foam column that efficiently carries organics into the collection cup. With its industrial-grade cast acrylic construction and oversized air silencer, the SRO 5000-INT delivers powerful nutrient export with the reliability demanded by serious reef hobbyists and professional curators.

Key Features

  • HY-5000S Bubble Blaster Pump: Features a digital control circuit to monitor motor speed and a silicon carbide shaft for superior durability.

  • 10-Inch Reaction Chamber: Provides massive volume for high-bioload systems up to 500 gallons.

  • Turbulence Reduction: The bubble plate diffuser ensures that the high-volume air intake doesn't disrupt foam formation.

  • Easy Maintenance: The skimmer is designed to be fully disassembled, and the collection cup features a quick-release design.

  • Heavy-Duty Output: Includes a professional gate valve to perfectly "dial in" the internal water level regardless of sump fluctuations.

Bioload Handling

  • Heavy Bioload: 300 Gallons

  • Medium Bioload: 400 Gallons

  • Light Bioload: 500 Gallons
