Which Size Is Right for You?
Match the skimmer to your total system volume and bioload, and give yourself headroom. Heavily stocked or messy tanks skim better on a larger model, so if you are between sizes, size up. All four are in-sump skimmers, so measure your sump footprint against the dimensions above before you choose. Not sure which fits your setup? Ask us and we will help you dial it in.

FAQ
Is the pump included?
Yes. Each Regal INT comes with its matched Octopus VarioS controllable DC pinwheel pump, so it is ready to run out of the box.
Where does it go?
The Regal INT is an in-sump skimmer that sits inside your sump. Check the footprint dimensions for each size against your sump before ordering.
Freshwater or saltwater?
