Powerful external protein skimming for marine and reef aquariums.
The OCTO SRO External Skimmer by Reef Octopus is designed to help remove dissolved organic waste from marine aquarium water before it breaks down and contributes to unwanted nutrient buildup. Its external recirculating design allows installation outside the sump, offering flexibility for aquarium filtration setups with limited internal space.
Featuring a Bubble Blaster pump and Venturi air-injection system, the SRO range helps create fine bubbles to collect organic waste in the skimmer cup. The hybrid cone-shaped body supports foam formation, while the adjustable output helps fine-tune skimming performance to suit your aquarium system.
Designed for demanding marine aquarium applications, the OCTO SRO External Skimmer provides a dedicated filtration solution for reef keepers seeking effective protein skimming.

Quarantine
UNPARALLEDED QUARANTINE PROCESS
Our comprehensive quarantine process utilizes a powerful combination of copper, prazi, formalin, and antibiotics to tackle even the most stubborn diseases. This rigorous treatment ensures our fish are free from common ailments like Ich, Velvet, Blackspot, Brooklyenella, Flukes, Tapeworm, Uronema, and Vibrio, which other treatments like TTM and hypo may not cover.
Fish are fed 3x a day and will be transferred to a sterile system with UV for their remaining stay.
Tangs are treated more strictly with quarantine and will hold any fish for longer if symptoms are still displayed.
2 WEEKS
Two weeks is just a minimum, you are welcome to quarantine further if you wish. As most of the work is already done for you, rest assured that the fish received from REEF HAVEN AQUARIUM are very healthy.
PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT guarantee 100% parasite free fish. We still recommend that you quarantine regardless, but the time taken to do so may be a lot less than usual. If you purchase fish that have not been quarantined, they may still be a carrier for parasites. Parasites can lay dormant in your tank until a new stressed fish is introduced. Corals & inverts may also introduce disease if coming from parasite infested waters. Natural sea water WILL introduce parasites.
ERROR-FREE MEDICATION
Our medication process is handled by a single expert, Hazel, guaranteeing zero room for error. This personalized care ensures our fish receive the precise treatment they need, without the risk of human error that can occur with multiple handlers.
HEALTH STANDARD, NOT EXTRA COST
At REEF HAVEN AQUARIUM, we believe healthy fish should be the norm, not an added expense. That's why we incorporate our quarantine service as a standard health practice for all our fish, at no extra cost to you.

We're committed to responsible and sustainable aquatic practices, ensuring our operations have a minimal impact on the environment. Our goal is to provide healthy fish, minimal or no death, while promoting a healthy planet.
