The Reef Octopus Regal 200-EXT recirculating protein skimmer is designed for aquariums up to 400 gallons, providing powerful filtration and absolute control. Made of high-quality cast acrylic, it can be easily disassembled for cleaning. The hybrid conical body of the skimmer naturally stabilizes and concentrates the organic-rich foam as it rises. Additionally, it is equipped with a new generation Octopus controllable Direct Current VarioS-4S pinwheel recirculating skimmer pump, offering refined control, enhanced performance, and efficiency. This pump has several advantages over traditional AC pumps, including the option to control the speed and flow rate electronically. The new VarioS Controller allows for even more control, with features such as a float switch connection for added security, pause/feed modes for maintenance and feeding, and the ability to use a third-party controller for intricate programs. The pump also features a slow startup, and the controller and pump are connected via a waterproof 3
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.
