The Macro Aqua protein skimmer is a proficient tool for effectively filtering and removing proteins in aquariums, which may endanger the well-being of the aquatic inhabitants. Designed to be placed in a saltwater sump filter with a water depth of 5 to 11.5 inches, the KP-30 model salt water fish tank skimmer has dimensions of 8.00 x 6.75 x 20.50 inches.

Unlike external skimmers that may leak water, this skimmer operates inside the sump where it pulls water in, filters, and discharges the filtered water back into the sump. A venturi is created by the pump, pulling air in and mixing it with the water, and the bubbles are diffused with an acrylic plate located just above the motor.

The high-efficiency 8-speed DC pump with the upgraded titanium mesh impeller makes the protein skimmer an excellent choice for marine and reef aquariums where a sump filter is used. The extended length air intake muffler helps reduce the operating noise as air is pulled into the venturi, and pressing the control button toggles between the eight speeds, making it easy to regulate the amount of skimming.

In addition to the motor speed control, the flow control knob allows you to dial-in the correct amount of skimming for your aquarium. Simply turn the dial to adjust the water flow. Setting up the protein skimmers for saltwater aquariums is a breeze, and it operates quietly thanks to the air intake muffler with an extended length.

Attaching the large collection cup to the top of the protein filter skimmer is a straightforward process achieved by pressing and twisting it until it secures tightly with the O-ring. The Macro Aqua protein skimmer is an excellent choice for marine and reef aquariums that employ a sump filter, offering efficient and quiet operation with adjustable settings to suit your needs.
