The Bubble Blaster 5000 Skimmer Pump (HY-5000S) is a cutting-edge addition to the aquarium hobby. While many skimmer pumps on the market are simply modified water pumps with altered impellers, the Bubble Blaster was specifically designed to excel in air-capturing performance and efficiency. These pumps are equipped with a digital control circuit board that facilitates directional start-up and RPM speeds. Additionally, this intelligent circuit board will shut off the pump in the event of a problem, safeguarding it from damage. An added bonus is the transparent volute housing, allowing for easy inspection without the need for disassembly. The hallmark of the Bubble Blaster pumps is their unparalleled ability to draw in a vast amount of air in proportion to water volume, crucial for effective protein skimming. Combined with a 2-year warranty, these pumps are an unbeatable choice. \nCompatible with the following Reef Octopus skimmer models (no additional adapters needed): \n\nSRO
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.
