Aqua Excel AE-EC40 Protein Skimmer

Product details

The Aqua Excel AE-EC40 Protein Skimmer is a protein skimmer designed for aquarium use to help remove dissolved organic compounds from the water through foam fractionation. In practical terms, it provides an additional filtration method that can help keep aquarium water cleaner and more stable by exporting waste compounds before they break down further. This model is intended to serve large systems, pairing an appropriately sized skimmer body with a DC-4000 pin wheel pump.

Features:

• Protein skimming helps remove dissolved organic material that can contribute to water cloudiness and odor as it accumulates.
• Uses foam fractionation, where rising air bubbles collect organics and carry them into a collection section.
• Built around a DC-4000 pin wheel pump, supporting consistent skimmer operation.
• Sized for larger aquariums, making it suitable for setups up to the stated capacity.
• Designed with a complex, refined form factor typical of high-end skimmer builds, aimed at reliable day-to-day use.
