Nyos Quantum 160 EQ Protein Skimmer

Why choose the Nyos Quantum 160 EQ for your reef tank

The Nyos Quantum 160 EQ combines the proven Quantum 160 skimmer body with a fully controllable 24V DC pump and smart app control delivering stable nutrient export and ultra quiet operation for medium sized reef systems up to 125 gallons.
Wireless integration with Mobius and Apex Fusion lets you schedule skimmer intensity around feeding maintenance and nighttime plankton activity while built in safety logic protects your system from overflows or blockages.

Directions

Install the Nyos Quantum 160 EQ in a sump chamber with stable water height ideally around 8 to 10 inches then allow the unit to run with the air and water level opened conservatively during the initial break in period.
Once the skimmer slime coat has formed over several days use the Mobius or Apex app to tune pump speed and select a preset mode then fine tune the water level via the skimmer outlet for your preferred wet or dry skimmate.
Clean the collection cup and neck regularly to maintain consistent foam production and periodically inspect the pump intake to keep it free of salt creep and debris.
