The OCTO series Regal recirculating external protein skimmer (Regal-E) is a top-of-the-line protein skimmer designed to keep your aquarium water clean and healthy. Constructed with high-quality cast acrylic, this out-of-sump skimmer is built to last and is easy to disassemble for maintenance.

The Regal-E features a hybrid conical body that naturally stabilizes and concentrates organic-rich foam as it rises, resulting in cleaner water output. Water is recirculated within the skimmer for maximum efficiency and performance.

The skimmer is powered by the controllable VarioS skimmer pump, which boasts several advantages over traditional AC pumps. With variable speed flow technology, you can adjust the ideal mix of air and water flow into the skimmer for enhanced performance and energy efficiency. The pump also features pinwheel impellers, a detachable controller, and high-quality ceramic shaft and bearing to reduce wear and tear.

The VarioS controller gives you precise control over the flow rate with five preset speed settings and a 15 or 60-minute feed mode. The output volute orientation is rotatable, allowing for placement flexibility. With an expected lifespan of 10 years under normal usage, the VarioS pump is designed for safe and reliable operation.

Note: A feed pump is required that can flow around 1.5 - 2 times the systems volume.

Recommendations:

• A feed pump around 600-1000 GPH.
• A gate valve to help control and fine tune the flow of water into the skimmer from the feed pump.
