The Reef Octopus Pump OTP-800 is primarily used in aquariums as a return pump or a feed pump for media reactors. It is designed for efficient water flow in both freshwater and saltwater aquarium systems. The Reef Octopus Pump OTP-800 has a maximum flow rate of approximately 908 litres per hour and a maximum head pressure of approximately 0.91 metres
Applications
-
Return Pump: The OTP-800 is suitable for use as a main return pump in sumps, pushing water from the sump back up into the main display tank. It is an efficient AC pump that provides reliable performance for average reef setups.
-
Media Reactor Feed Pump: Its consistent flow makes it a great option for feeding media reactors, such as those used for GFO or carbon filtration, ensuring optimal contact time with the media.
-
Protein Skimmers: Although the Aquatrance and VarioS DC pumps are often specifically made for protein skimmers, generic utility pumps like the OTP-800 can be integrated into certain skimmer setups, particularly external (out-of-sump) models, to provide water flow.
-
Utility Pump: It can function as a general utility pump for various water transfer needs within an aquarium system or for other related aquaculture applications.
