AquaMaxx HOB Hang-On Protein Skimmer – VS-2

The AquaMaxx VS-2 is a hang-on protein skimmer rated for saltwater aquariums up to 200 gallons, yet thin and light enough for a nano tank. It hangs on the back of the aquarium, and the pump sits inside the skimmer itself to save space, cut noise and improve efficiency. A modified Italian Sicce ‘Shark’ needle-wheel pump creates a strong mix of fine air bubbles that forces protein and waste up into a responsive, removable collection cup. A drain fitting is included if you want to run skimmate to a separate container.
