Octo SRO XP8000 In-Sump Protein Skimmer

Reef Octopus SRO XP-8000 In-Sump Protein Skimmer

The Reef Octopus SRO XP-8000 (Super Reef Octopus) is an industrial-strength in-sump protein skimmer designed to handle the extreme biological demands of systems up to 1,200 gallons. As part of the XP Full Cone series, this skimmer utilizes a tapered body design that virtually eliminates turbulence, allowing foam to transition smoothly and concentrate organically. Powered by a Bubble Blaster HY-10000S pinwheel pump, the XP-8000 generates a massive volume of micro-bubbles, providing the surface area necessary to strip proteins from the largest water columns.

The SRO XP-8000 is built for longevity and performance in professional environments. The Bubble Blaster pumps are specifically engineered for protein skimmers, featuring a digital control circuit to monitor motor speed and prevent damage from internal obstructions. With its high-quality cast acrylic build, oversized air silencers, and a large-capacity collection cup, the SRO XP-8000 is the ultimate filtration solution for professional aquarists and commercial facility managers who require reliable, high-volume nutrient export.
