Aqua One ProSkim Protein Skimmers

Protein skimmers, also known as foam fractionators, are supplemental filtration systems designed to reduce the organic load in saltwater and reef aquariums. They actively remove dissolved organic compounds from the water column to promote cleaner, clearer water and a healthier aquarium. Secondary benefits of protein skimming include a reduction in nitrate accumulation, increased oxygenation, improved light penetration, and more.

The Aqua One ProSkim G216 is a versatile and easy-to-use protein skimmer designed for marine and reef aquariums up to 105 gallons. Tuned for maximum efficiency, this powerful unit pairs a needle wheel impeller with an aspirating venturi to create an endless vortex of waste-removing microbubbles. It is powered by a high-performance water pump that dishes out 370 gph, while consuming a modest and energy-efficient 20 watts.

The ProSkim G216 is quickly adapted to meet the unique needs of your aquarium. It features an adjustable venturi to enable fine-tuning of the air-water mixture, and its internal water level is easily regulated by twisting the dual red valves on the outlet taps. To prevent unsightly microbubbles from entering your aquarium, each outlet tap is equipped with a strainer and outlet diffuser sponge.

For flexible installation, the G216 includes a variable mounting system. Depending on your existing setup, this versatile unit can be used as either a hang-on or in-sump skimmer. It features high-grade acrylic construction for long-term durability, and comes with a water pump suction cup bracket to dampen vibrations and reduce operational noise. For quality assurance and peace of mind, the Aqua One ProSkim G216 is backed by a 3 year limited manufacturer's warranty.
