AquaMaxx ConeS CO Series In-Sump Needle-Wheel Protein Skimmer – CO-6

AquaMaxx ConeS CO series in-sump protein skimmers remove organic waste from marine and reef aquarium water. A hybrid cone body, an advanced bubble chamber and conical diffusers work together to mix air and water and create a stable, laminar flow in the reaction chamber. A modified Italian Sicce ‘Shark’ pump with a needle-wheel impeller draws in plenty of air and chops it into fine bubbles, pushing protein and waste up into the collection cup for easy removal. A Quick-Precise valve lets you fine-tune the water level for wetter or drier foam, and an air intake silencer keeps it quiet.

Key features

Good to know

Stand the skimmer in the sump at the recommended water depth, then use the adjustment valve to set the foam from wet to dry. Leave about 1/2 inch above the collection cup so it can be lifted off for cleaning.
