Aquavitro division 125 Protein Skimmer
Engineered for modern reef systems up to 125 US gallons, the division 125 prioritizes stable foam production, long contact time, and ultra-quiet running in a compact footprint. Its external Sicce needle-wheel pump preserves reaction volume while a dual-chamber silencer, anti-vibration hardware, and complete microbubble removal keep your sump calm and your display crystal clear. Height-based drain regulation and a handled polycarbonate cup make tuning and maintenance fast and predictable.
