Product details
Aqua Excel External Skimmer is a protein skimmer designed for aquarium use to help remove dissolved organic compounds from the water by producing foam in a skimmer body and collecting it in a waste cup. Because it’s an external style unit, it’s intended to be run outside the main display (typically connected to the system via plumbing), making it a practical choice when you want efficient skimming without taking up display space. This listing references multiple Aqua Excel External Skimmer variants, each with different performance power and footprint sizing.
Features:
- External protein skimmer design for foam fractionation-based filtration
- Collects skimmed waste into an accessible waste cup for easier maintenance
- Multiple model options to match different aquarium capacities and equipment spaces
