Protein Skimmers

This is suitable for sea water aquariums up to 100 litres and offers:-
Good protein foam production
Removal of toxic protein compounds
Fast and secure mounting.
Easy cleaning.
How does it work?

A wooden air stone diffuses the air into very small air bubbles. While the air bubbles rise through the water they remove protein waste from the water. The waste foam is produced above the water level and then rises through the foam tube into the collection cup. In this way, waste particles and toxic compounds are totally removed from the aquarium, which is  the essential difference between this and other forms of biological filtration.

These skimmers are suitable for salt water aquariums up to 150 litres (33 imp gall) and model required depends on depth of water in the aquarium. The longer the skimmer's contact tube, the more efficient the unit will be.

Model	Water depth	Depth

300	300mm/12"	100 x 135 x 320mm high
400	400mm/16"	100 x 135 x 420mm high
500	500mm/20"	100 x 135 x 520mm high

Actual Size
9.05cm wide x 7.62cm deep x 44.45cm high

Pump required
Supplied with a Rio 600 (760 l/h) pump
Supplied complete - no need to buy an overflow, sump, return pipe or any complex plumbing. Includes Rio 600 Pump (240v 50Hz).  
Easy to set up, use and clean.  
Made from high grade, durable acrylic- can be used with ozone.  
Black intake and outlet tubes to reduce algae growth. 
Enclosed directional outflow to minimise splash and bubbles in the aquarium.
For tanks up to 60 gallons - multiple units can be used on larger tanks.

The APF generates more air  accordingly handles a higher water throughput.
The cup and pipework on the APF are larger to cope with the extra waste output.
The photo is for illustration purposes only and shows the standard AP600 model.
All APF skimmers are fitted with Aquabee pumps drawing in 450lts of air per hour.
The skimmer must be supplied with water either by gravity feed from the aquarium or via a separate pump.

For Aquariums up to:
 Heavy Stocking 750 Ltrs (167gals)
Normal Stocking 1000 Ltrs (222 gals)
(16mm/20mm flexible connection)
 
Water Throughput:
 800 Ltr./ h (178 gall/h)

Dimensions:
 L: 280mm W: 210mm H: 600mm

Its new design gives it the flexibility to hang on almost any brand of aquarium or for it to be used inside or hanging on the outside of a sump.

There is a chamber built into the skimmer where media such as RowaPhos or carbon can be used in a sock or bag and there is even an optional media box available.

The performance is as you would expect from any Deltec skimmer, drawing in 300lts of air per hour for maximum waste removal.

The Deltec philosophy is that for every 1000 Ltrs of water in the aquarium that you require 400 - 500 Ltrs of air per hour to achieve efficient skimming.

This makes the MCE600 skimmer suitable for 700 Ltrs (155 gallons) for a normally stocked reef aquarium or 450 Ltrs (100 gallons) for a heavily stocked fish only system

High performance, quality protein skimmer incorporating a patented venturi injection system which optimises the perfect mixture of micro fine air bubbles and water and ensures intensive, efficient skimming and the removal of proteins and other harmful toxins (waste) from the aquarium.

• The versatile design allows the V2Skim Protein Skimmer to be used either as an external "hang-on" skimmer or internally in a sump or aquarium.

• The large tapered collection cup improves foam concentration and is easily removable for quick and effortless cleaning. On larger models (V2Skim 800, 1000, 1200 & 1500) there is also a drain port to allow skimmate to be drained to waste using the collection cup drain hose supplied.

• Specially designed inlet pipe and bracket ensures quick installation and easy maintenance.

• The water level adjustment dial allows water level and flow to be finely tuned to ensure optimum foam consistency and highly efficient skimming.

• The V2Skim’s unique outlet pipe assembly allows the water to be returned to the aquarium or sump at exactly the desired angle or location.

• All V2Skim Protein Skimmers are supplied with a V2Bubble Stop which filters any remaining micro bubbles from the protein skimmer and prevents them from flowing into the aquarium or sump. The V2Bubble Stop can also be used to provide additional post skimming filtration and the removable sponges mean that it can be incorporated with other filtration components and can be used to house other forms of filtration media such as carbon, using a V2Filter Media Bag (available separately).

• Each V2Skim Protein Skimmer is supplied complete with a high performance pump which delivers the optimum flow rate that the venturi injection system requires.

• Ozone compatible.

• 12 month guarantee.

• A full range of spares is available.
