Aqua Medic Turboflotor Hang On Protein Skimmer

The Turboflotor Multi SL is the among the most capable, versatile and effective skimmers of its size. No other skimmer made today offers the same level of function, adaptability and ease of use than the revolutionary Multi SL design. Equally at home hanging on a small quarantine tank or permanently installed at the heart of a 200 gallon reef display's filtration system; the Turboflotor Multi SL is so effective and flexible that it will be among your most valuable tools as an aquarist. The Turboflotor Multi SL uses its air bubbles to create a large water surface for the waste substances to attach themselves to. These air bubbles are forced into the reactor pipe in such a way that they undergo a long contact time within the counter current. Enriched with organic substances, they rise to the top and form a firm foam that is dehydrated and pushed into the collection cup. This method removes organic wastes from the aquarium water before they become part of the biological waste treatment cycle. The included Ocean Runner PH 2500 (37W) venturi pump draws the water out of the aquarium of the filter chamber, mixes it in the pump housing with air, which is then cut into small air bubbles by the needle wheel. this water/air mixture is pumped into the reaction pipe where the organic susbstances are taken up by the air bubbles. Foam is formed and pushed into the collection cup. Clean water flows to the bottom of the skimmer and is transported back into the aquarium or filter chamber. Designed for both hang-on and in-sump applications. Recommended for aquariums 120-250 gallons in size.
