The Reef Octopus Elite 220-INT is constructed of high-quality cast acrylic and PVC that disassembles completely for cleaning. Its unique Super Cone \"wine glass\" body naturally stabilizes and concentrates the organic rich foam as it rises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elite 220int is equipped with a controllable Reef Octopus VarioS-6S pinwheel pump with the integrated memory controller. This skimmer features a unique “twist and lifts\" collection cup to make removal and cleaning a simple task, an easy to use vented wedge valve provides precise control and an underwater outflow for quiet operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBioload Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bioload of an aquarium refers to its ability to process waste in proportion to tank volume.

This is an added security feature that allows 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. In all, you don’t need another module or controller to add a float switch to your system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo different pause\/feed modes will shut off the pump for either 15 or 60-minute intervals. These come handy when you are feeding the tank or conducting regular maintenance such as a water change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd the best feature of the VarioS controller is… a 0-10v input which will allow a 3rd party controller such as Neptune System’s APEX or Reef Angel to take over the pump and tell it what to do. In this mode, the new VarioS controller becomes an interface between the system controller and the pump allowing you to create intricate programs using your system controller native language. This is unprecedented controllability on a skimmer or water pump. In essence, you can use your system controller as your DC pump controller!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VarioSpumpfeatures a true slow startup where the pump slowly ramps up from zero RPM to the full preset speed over a period of approximately 10 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump and controller are connected via a waterproof 3-conductor union. The detachable controller will allow for a simple waterproof union. The volute can rotate to change the pump's output orientation in 90-degree intervals, meaning users can output water vertically (up or down) as well as horizontally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eELITE-220INT Technical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuper Cone Body: 9in\u003cbr\u003eFootprint: 16.5in x 12.2in\u003cbr\u003eNeck Size: 4.75in\u003cbr\u003eTotal Height: 24.8in\u003cbr\u003eOutput Size: 50mm\/ 1.5in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Sump\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Height: 7.5 - 9in\u003cbr\u003ePump Information\u003cbr\u003eReef Octopus VarioS 6S Controllable Pinwheel Pump\u003cbr\u003ePower Consumption: 35-70watts\u003cbr\u003eVoltage: 36V\u003cbr\u003eAir Draw:1200-2400lph \/ 42-84 SCFH*\u003cbr\u003eWater Draw: 528gph\u003cbr\u003e*Air and water results will vary depending on aquarium setup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo(2) year on pump\u003cbr\u003eOne(1) year on rotor\u003cbr\u003eOne(1) year on skimmer body\u003cbr\u003eReef Octopus can not be responsible for consequential damages arising from the installation or use of this product.
