The Reef Octopus Elite 220-INT is constructed of high-quality cast acrylic and PVC that disassembles completely for cleaning. Its unique Super Cone \"wine glass\" body naturally stabilizes and concentrates the organic-rich foam as it rises.\n\nThe Elite 220int is equipped with a controllable Reef Octopus VarioS-6S pinwheel pump with the integrated memory controller. This skimmer features a unique “twist and lifts\" collection cup to make removal and cleaning a simple task, an easy-to-use vented wedge valve provides precise control, and an underwater outflow for quiet operation.\n\nBioload Handling\nThe bioload of an aquarium refers to its ability to process waste in proportion to tank volume. Protein skimmers work best when properly matched with the bioload of the system.\n\n(EXCLUDING SUMP)\n\nHeavy\nMedium\nLight\n300 gallons\n400 gallons\n530 gallons\nSafe and Efficient 36V Power\nTurbulence Reducing Super Cone Body\nSolid Cast Acrylic \u0026amp; Machined PVC Construction\nVented Output Valve with Adjustment Dial\n“Twist \u0026amp; Lift\" Collection Cup\nDisassembles for Easy Cleaning \u0026amp; Maintenance\nEfficient, Quiet, and Controllable VarioS-6S pump\nRefined Control\nIn addition to allowing the pump to run at 5 different speeds, the new VarioS Controller takes the pump to a new level, featuring:\n\nA float switch connection, which allows you to connect a float switch (included in the box) to the controller. This added security feature allows you to shut off the skimmer pump when your waste collector is full or to shut off your water pump when your sump water reaches a high or low level. In all, you don’t need another module or controller to add a float switch to your system.\nTwo different pause\/feed modes will shut off the pump for either 15 or 60-minute intervals. These come in handy when you are feeding the tank or conducting regular maintenance, such as a water change.\nAnd the best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10v input which will allow a 3rd party controller, such as Neptune Systems’ APEX or Reef Angel to take over the pump and tell it what to do. In this mode, the new VarioS controller becomes an interface between the system controller and the pump, allowing you to create intricate programs using your system controller's native language. This is unprecedented controllability on a skimmer or water pump. In essence, you can use your system controller as your DC pump controller!\nThe VarioS pump features a true slow startup, ramping up from zero RPM to the full preset speed over approximately 10 seconds.\n\nThe pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union. The detachable controller will allow for a simple, waterproof union. The volute can rotate to change the pump's output orientation in 90-degree intervals, meaning users can output water vertically (up or down) as well as horizontally.\n\nELITE-220INT Technical Specs\nSuper Cone Body: 9in\nFootprint: 16.5in x 12.2in\nNeck Size: 4.75in\nTotal Height: 24.8in\nOutput Size: 50mm\/ 1.5in\n\nRecommended Sump\nWater Height: 7.5 - 9in\nPump Information\nReef Octopus VarioS 6S Controllable Pinwheel Pump\nPower Consumption: 35-70watts\nVoltage: 36V\nAir Draw: 1200-2400lph \/ 42-84 SCFH*\nWater Draw: 528gph\n*Air and water results will vary depending on aquarium setup\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reef Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67799429873960,"sku":"OCT-ELITE-220INT","price":1108.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6293\/4824\/files\/elite-220int-1_1.jpg?v=1790887666","url":"https:\/\/bubbleflowaquatix.com\/products\/elite-skimmer-w-reef-octopus-dc-pump-elite-220int","provider":"Bubble Flow Aquatix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
