AquaMaxx Water Cyclone Protein Skimmer for Nano & All-in-One Aquariums – WS-1

The AquaMaxx WS-1 Water Cyclone is a compact protein skimmer made to fit nano aquariums, all-in-one style aquariums and other small saltwater tanks. An Italian Sicce Syncra pump with a needle-wheel impeller sits inside the skimmer, and conical diffusers reduce turbulence for a stable, laminar flow in the reaction chamber. Setting it up is simple: move the collection cup up or down to choose wetter or drier foam. The removable cup makes cleaning easy, and a drain fitting is included.

Good to know
