content":"Latest in Controllable Technology\nThe new and innovative Reef Octopus Regal 250-INT in-sump protein skimmer supplies powerful filtration for up to 300 gallons of aquariums, where sump space is unlimited. The Reef Octopus Regal 250-INT is constructed of high-quality cast acrylic that is completely disassembled for cleaning. Its hybrid conical body naturally stabilizes and concentrates the organic-rich foam as it rises. This Regal skimmer is quipped with an Octopus controllable Direct Current VarioS-6S pinwheel skimmer pump, the latest variable speed flow technology, allowing for refined control, enhanced performance, and efficiency. Most skimmer pumps available to hobbyists are alternating current \"AC\" pumps (the type of power that comes out of your wall outlet). Direct current pumps have several key advantages over traditional AC pumps. Most notably, you can control the motor's rotational speed, thus electronically controlling air and water flow rates into the skimmer. Now, the user can have the skimmer process more or less water by pushing a button!!! \nBioload Handling \n(Excluding sump) \n\n\n\nLight\nMedium\nHeavy\n\n\n635 USG\n500 USG\n300 USG\n\n\n\n \nRecommended Sump Water Height: 7.9 - 10in \nSkimmer Features \n\n\nSafe and Efficient 36V Power \n\n\nSolid Cast Acrylic Construction \n\n\nHigh-Performance VarioS Skimmer Pump \n\n\n5 Controllable Energy Saving Power Settings \n\n\nDetachable Controller with Waterproof Union \n\n\nSafety Float Switch \n\n\n0-10v Input for 3rd Party Controller \n\n\nIntegrated Memory \n\n\nTwo pause/feed modes will shut off the pump for 15 or 60-minute intervals \n\n\nREFINED CONTROL \nIn addition to allowing the pu mp to run at five different speeds, the new VarioS Controller takes the pump to a new level, featuring: \n\nA float switch connection allows you to connect a float switch (included in the box) to the controller. This added security feature will enable you to shut off the skimmer pump when your waste collector is full or shut off your water pump when your sump water has reached a high or low level. You don’t need another module or controller to add a float switch to your system.\nTwo different pause/feed modes shut off the pump for 15 or 60-minute intervals. These are handy when feeding the tank or conducting regular maintenance, such as a water change.\nThe best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10v input, allowing a 3rd party control
