Reef Octopus SRO XP-8000EXT Recirculating External Protein Skimmer The Reef Octopus SRO XP-8000EXT (Super Reef Octopus) is a commercial-grade external recirculating protein skimmer designed for massive residential displays, public aquariums, and large-scale aquaculture systems. Utilizing a 16-inch full cone body, the XP-8000EXT is engineered to process the extreme biological loads of systems up to 1,200 gallons. Its recirculating design allows the Bubble Blaster HY-10000S pump to focus exclusively on mixing air and water within the body, while a separate feed pump (sold separately) dictates the flow-through rate.
