Reef Octopus Octo Embroidered Logo Apparel Hat
Displaying dedication to high-performance marine husbandry extends beyond aquarium equipment into lifestyle gear. The Octo Hat (SKU: OCT-HAT) is the official OEM branded cap produced specifically for fans of Reef Octopus (Octo) Filtration Systems and CoralVue aquatic platforms.
Whether maintaining complex reef sumps in high-humidity fish rooms, fragging stony corals under high-intensity metal halides and spectrum LEDs, or networking at events like MACNA and Reef-A-Palooza, comfortable headwear is an everyday staple.

Care & Maintenance Guidelines:
Adjust the rear closure strap to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around the circumference of your head.
If the hat is exposed to saltwater spray or splashes during sump cleanouts, rinse the affected exterior gently with cold tap water or RO/DI water as soon as possible to prevent salt ring formation.
For general cleaning, spot-clean using a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild, bleach-free detergent.
For deeper washing, submerge and hand-wash in a basin of cool water; gently agitate the inner headband with a soft brush.
Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove all soap residue.
Air-dry flat or reshape over an inverted bowl or cap former away from direct sunlight; never place the hat in a clothes dryer or automated dishwasher, as high heat will warp the brim and shrink the buckram.
Pro Tips:
- Rinse Away Salt Spray Immediately. When working over turbulent reef sumps or protein skimmers, bursting microbubbles create an airborne aerosol of saltwater mist. If fine salt droplets land on cotton twill, drying leaves behind crystalline white salt rings that can stiffen the fabric over time. A quick, light dab with a freshwater-dampened cloth after tank maintenance will keep the embroidery and crown looking fresh.
- Never Wash in a Household Dishwasher or Washing Machine. While automated dishwashers or top-load washing machines are sometimes suggested for cleaning hats, harsh laundry detergents and tumbling friction will crush the front crown’s structural buckram and cause the visor core to deform. Hand-soaking in a sink with cool water and a mild hand soap preserves the shape and crisp embroidery for years.
