Have we mentioned how much of a commitment Reef Octopus is making to the direct current controllable water pumps? Well, if you haven’t been following along, we will sump it up with saying that Reef Octopus is become well entrenched in the world of DC pumps and they are only digging in deeper by the day. Their latest DC pump powered products are a pair of cone shaped protein skimmers in the Diablo lineup. The Diablo DCS-150int and DCS-170int will be hitting stores soon and they have plenty of nice features that will make them solid performers for any reef setting.
The 150 and 170 internal skimmer models are rates for 125 and 200 gallons respectively, which are somewhat conservative numbers in our opinion. They differ only in come diameter and height, witht the 170 being an inch larger in both height and come diameter. Both skimmers have all of the standard features of any cone skimmer, with a Diablo DCS 3500 pinwheel pump powering both.
