AS31 Protein Skimmer – Sea Side Aquatics

Product details

The AS31 Protein Skimmer – Sea Side Aquatics is a marine aquarium protein skimmer designed to help remove dissolved organic compounds (often referred to as “protein” waste) from aquarium water. By running aquarium water through an air-injection/foam fractionation process, it produces skimmate you can discard, which can help maintain cleaner, more stable water conditions for saltwater systems. It’s commonly used in sump-based setups to support filtration, especially in systems where nutrient management matters.

• Includes three Sicce PSK 1000 pumps (listed as SICCE PSK 1000 x 3) to drive skimming performance
• Compact footprint for its rated capacity (approximately 16" x 20")
• Tall skimmer body helps support skimmate production in a vertical chamber (approximately 31" tall)
• Uses a 10" diameter cone design (10" cone) for foam contact within the skimmer body
