Clarify Your Aquarium Water
Our protein skimmers inject fine bubbles into the water that attract and bind to organic pollutants in your aquarium. This creates a dense foam that is further concentrated by the hybrid cone as it is carried into the collection cup, thereby, removing the waste to improve water quality to create a healthier reef ecosystem.
Remove Waste Efficiently
Our uniquely designed air intake valve pulls in more air than more expensive competitors, producing a dense waste-removing foam. The hybrid cone body then stabilizes the foam column and concentrates it as it rises, maximizing waste removal through foam fractionation.
Enhanced Control
The included controller with digital display allows you to easily adjust the flow rate. The integrated 'feed' mode will temporarily turn off the pump for 10 minutes so the skimmer doesn't overflow during feeding and maintenance.
Maximum Waste Removal
The compact hybrid-cone body stabilizes the foam column, concentrating rising foam and increasing contact time for maximize waste removal.
On-Demand Skimmate Control
The adjustable wedge pipe assembly allows you to easily increase or decrease the water level inside of the skimmer body to accommodate wet or dry skimmate.
Hassle-Free Maintenance
Designed for convenience, the collection cup with built-in drain has a quick-action bayonet lock that allows you to easily remove or secure collection cup without hassle.
Built-to-Last
Built with high-quality, durable components that can stand up to rough saltwater environments for reliable and long-lasting performance.
Powerful Foam Fractionation
The powerhouse of the skimmer, the pump's durable needle wheel impeller fragments the air to create incredibly dense microbubble foam that sequesters detritus, driving waste into the collection cup.
Optimized Performance
Smartly integrated into the skimmer body, the bubble plate increases efficiency by reducing turbulence as water exits the pump.
Adjustable Air Intake
The air intake valve with included silencer lets you quickly adjust the air-to-water ratio for more efficient elimination of waste.
Space-Saving Design
The DC pump fits conveniently in the base of the skimmer body to minimize the amount of space required in your sump.
Simple Assembly
Built with four strategically-placed nylon thumbscrews, the skimmer can be effortlessly disassembled and reassembled.
