The Bubble Blaster HY-5000 was built from the ground up as a dedicated skimmer pump, engineered around pulling the largest possible volume of air relative to water flow — the key to aggressive, effective protein skimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA digital control circuit board manages directional start-up and RPM speed, and shuts the pump down automatically if it detects a fault, protecting the motor from damage. The clear volute housing lets you see inside the pump without taking it apart, so a clog or obstruction is visible at a glance instead of requiring a teardown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-built air-shredding design, not a modified water pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital control board for directional start-up and RPM management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic shutoff on fault detection to protect the motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear volute housing for at-a-glance internal inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect fit for SRO-5000 INT\/EXT\/SSS and XP-5000 INT\/EXT\/SSS, no adapter required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax flow: 480 GPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax air draw: 2100 L\/H (72 SCFH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 55 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement pump for Reef Octopus SRO-5000 and XP-5000 skimmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobbyists looking to restore or boost skimming performance on this skimmer size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone stepping up from the HY-3000 for a larger skimmer body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"REEF OCTOPUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896311611616,"sku":"6950291205100","price":439.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/8501\/5264\/files\/HY-5000S_Octo_Bubble_Blaster_5000_Skimmer_Pump.jpg?v=1791839344","url":"https:\/\/natureaquariums.com\/products\/octo-bubble-blaster-5000-skimmer-pump","provider":"Nature Aquariums USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
