Marine Protein Skimmer for Reef Aquarium
Category: aquatic life protein skimmer
The Classic 90 skimmer is a completely novel hang-on-back skimmer, distinct from the typical hang-on design. Its main body is cylindrical, and it employs a siphon mechanism to draw water into the skimmer, which reduces the load on the pump while enhancing air production. This unique design allows the skimmer to effectively skim the water surface, preventing the unsightly oil buildup that can accumulate and hinder light penetration.
Compared to the conventional hang-on skimmers, the Classic 90 offers a significantly different approach. Rather than relying on a standard hang-on configuration, it features a cylindrical main body, which serves as the foundation for its innovative siphon-based water intake system. This siphon mechanism plays a crucial role in reducing the burden on the pump, as it efficiently draws water into the skimmer without requiring excessive pump power.
This reduction in pump load is particularly beneficial, as it allows the skimmer to generate a higher volume of air. The increased air production is a key advantage of the Classic 90, as it enhances the skimmer's ability to effectively remove surface impurities, such as unsightly oil buildup. This oil accumulation can often hinder light penetration, negatively impacting the overall health and appearance of the aquarium.
By effectively skimming the water surface, the Classic 90 skimmer helps maintain a cleaner and more visually appealing aquatic environment. The cylindrical design and siphon-based water intake system work in harmony to ensure that the skimmer can efficiently remove the unwanted surface debris, preventing it from accumulating and compromising the aquarium's aesthetics.
In summary, the Classic 90 skimmer represents a significant departure from the traditional hang-on skimmer design. Its unique cylindrical body and siphon-based water intake system allow it to deliver improved performance, reduced pump load, and enhanced air production, ultimately contributing to a cleaner and more visually appealing aquarium environment. This innovative approach to skimmer design sets the Classic 90 apart from its more conventional counterparts, offering aquarium enthusiasts a highly effective and efficient solution for maintaining the health and appearance of their aquatic ecosystems.
