The Reef Octopus Bubble Blaster skimmer pumps boast true innovation in the marine aquarium hobby, setting them apart as trusted products among industry experts. They are commonly featured in the Super Reef Octopus skimmer (aka SRO). Unlike most skimmer pumps on the market, they are specifically designed to chop and draw air, rather than being modified water pumps with altered impellers. \nThe Bubble Blaster was the first skimmer pump to offer unparalleled air shredding performance and efficiency. Its digital control circuit board allows for directional start-up and RPM speed management, ensuring reliable, high-performance operation. \nOne of its unique features is the transparent volute housing, providing a clear view of the pump's inner workings without disassembly. This allows for easy detection and removal of any obstructions. However, the most notable feature of Bubble Blaster pumps is their ability to significantly draw air in comparison to water volume, making them ideal for aggressive protein skimming.

Initial Care Instructions
Initial Care Instructions
Once your coral arrives, float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, begin a drip acclimation process or slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 5 minutes over 30–45 minutes.
2. Inspect and Dip:
Before placing the coral in your tank, inspect it for pests or hitchhikers. We strongly recommend using a coral dip solution to remove potential parasites or algae. Follow the dip instructions carefully and rinse with clean saltwater before introducing to your display.
3. Placement:
Start the coral in a low to moderate light and flow area to help reduce stress. Over the next week, gradually move it to its ideal lighting and flow conditions based on species needs.
4. Monitor Water Parameters:
Ensure stable water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) and maintain good tank flow. Watch closely for signs of stress or tissue recession and adjust placement if necessary.
5. Patience Pays Off:
Corals often take a few days to fully open up after shipping. Give them time to adjust—avoid sudden lighting changes or overhandling during this period.
