Red Sea Reefer Skimmer 900 DC Pump Upgrade Kit (W/O Controller)
Swap the standard AC pump in a Reefer Skimmer 900 for a variable-speed DC pump and the skimmer starts levelling itself. This genuine Red Sea kit fits the Reefer Skimmer 900 with the same PSK-DC 1200 pump used across Red Sea's DC skimmer range, tuned for the 900's larger chamber, adding self-levelling operation and ReefBeat app monitoring once paired with the ReefRun Dual Controller.
What's included
- Sicce PSK-DC 1200 pump
- Skim sensor
- Controller cable
- Universal power supply and AC power cable
- Reefer Skimmer lid fitted for the skim sensor
- Instruction manual
Not included
The ReefRun Dual DC Pump Controller – required to run this pump and sold separately. Without it, the pump has no way to be powered on or adjusted.

What it fixes
Use this kit to move a Skimmer 900 from a fixed-speed AC pump to a controllable DC pump: self-levelling that responds to foam wetness and waste level, variable flow tunable without changing impellers, and run-dry or blockage notifications through the ReefBeat app once the controller is fitted. It's the same physical pump used in the 600 kit, run at a higher factory setting for the 900's larger chamber and flow requirement – the two kits are not interchangeable between skimmer sizes.
Fitting
Direct-fit swap into the existing Skimmer 900 body – no modification to the skimmer housing. Re-tune the skimmer from scratch after fitting: a DC pump changes the air-to-water balance at the needle wheel, so the old AC-pump settings won't carry across.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. Confirm the plug and voltage rating printed on the included power supply against your household mains before wiring it in – ask us to check this for you before dispatch if you'd like it confirmed.
Common questions
Do I need the controller to use this kit?
Yes. The pump in this kit cannot run without the ReefRun Dual DC Pump Controller, which is sold separately.
Is this the same pump as the 600 kit?
It's the same PSK-DC 1200 pump model, but factory-set to a higher flow and power draw for the 900's larger chamber. The two kits fit different skimmer bodies and aren't interchangeable.
Do I need to re-tune the skimmer after fitting the new pump?
Yes. A DC pump changes the air-water balance, so your existing AC-pump settings won't apply – start the tuning process again once it's fitted.
