How Does This Fit into Your System?

This Hang-On-Back Protein skimmer is highly efficient and compact. It will fit on aquariums with rims up to 3/4" thick and with a minimum tank height of 10-7/8". The hang-on-back design allows for the incorporation of a protein skimmer onto almost any saltwater aquarium, particularly those that don't have a separate sump filtration system. 

How Can This Help My Aquarium?

A protein skimmer has many benefits to a saltwater aquarium including filtration and gas exchange. The use of a pump and a diffuser create air bubbles and foam that work to separate waste from the aquarium water and also help gas exchange which oxygenates the water. Removing waste from the aquarium is an excellent way to manage pollutants and help prevent odors, discoloration, and/or algae growth.
