Coralife Marine Filter with Skimmer (30 Gallon)

IN a saltwater aquatic environment, debris and other organic materials can dissolve into fine particles which cannot be removed with a carbon cartridge alone; protein skimming is needed.

Protein skimming is the process of using micro bubbles (or foam) to lift dissolved debris from water, making water cleaner, clearer, and healthier for saltwater livestock and corals.

The Coralife Marine Filter with Protein Skimmer has an adjustable air flow dial that controls the volume of micro bubbles generated. Debris is collected in a cup that can be easily removed and emptied.

Features

• Protein skimmer with removable collection cup - Skimmer cup collects debris and harmful waste from water - maintenance is quick and easy.
• Motor equipped with needle wheel impeller optimizes skimming by creating more bubbles then a traditional pump.
• Multiple filtration layers for diminished micro bubble entry into the aquarium.
• Reduced maintenance with optimally designed skimming collection cup.
• Skimming not affected by water level fluctuations.
• Adjustable air flow controls volume of micro bubbles thus controlling intensity of skimming bubbles.
• Phosphate remover specialty media pad helps to remove excess phosphates that contribute to algae growth, traps waste, food and other organic debris.
• Large carbon cartridge with dual sided dense floss containing activated carbon.
• Heater clip accommodates an Aqueon pre-set heater (up to 100W) - heater sold separately.
• Suitable for marine aquariums up to 30 gallons. Ideal for nano reefs/aquariums and quarantine tanks.

Each Coralife Marine Filter with Protein Skimmer comes with a large carbon cartridge and the phosphate remover specialty filter pad.
