Product details
Aqua Excel AE-EC30 Protein Skimmer is a protein skimmer designed to help aquarium systems remove dissolved organic compounds from the water column. By using foam fractionation, it encourages waste buildup to collect in the skimmer, supporting cleaner, more stable water for many marine aquarium setups where efficient filtration is desired. This model pairs with a DC-3000LV pin wheel pump and is intended for use on larger aquariums within the manufacturer’s stated range.
Features:
- Protein skimming works by producing and collecting foam to export dissolved organics before they break down further in the tank
- Includes a DC-3000LV pin wheel pump to drive the skimming process
- Designed for aquariums up to the listed suitable tank size (525 gal) based on the manufacturer’s guidance
- Uses a specified operating water level (7.6–8.0 in) to help maintain consistent skimmer performance
