Public aquariums, large custom builds, and serious fishrooms need skimming capacity that consumer-grade equipment simply isn't built for. The Reef Octopus SRO-9000EXT Light Commercial Protein Skimmer is the largest model in the SRO line, built for tanks from 1,050 to 3,000 gallons.
Why Light Commercial Equipment Is Different
At this scale, skimming isn't a nice-to-have — it's core life support infrastructure, and the equipment needs to be built for continuous, heavy-duty operation rather than adapted from consumer-tank designs. The SRO-9000EXT is purpose-built for that duty cycle.
What the SRO-9000EXT Offers
- 1,050 to 3,000 gallon rating, well beyond standard consumer skimmer capacity.
- Quiet operation despite its scale, a meaningful consideration in display-adjacent commercial installations.
- Built for continuous, heavy-duty service rather than typical home-aquarium duty cycles.
Who It's For
- Large custom home systems in the 1,000+ gallon range.
- Public aquariums and commercial installations needing genuine industrial-scale skimming.
- Fish farms and aquaculture operations running high-bioload systems at scale.
