Product details
Your Choice Aquatics DC16 Protein Skimmer is an internal protein skimmer designed to help keep saltwater aquariums cleaner by removing dissolved organic compounds (often referred to as “protein” waste) from the water column. Installed inside the aquarium using its integrated design and pump, it pulls air to create fine bubbles and a foam fractionation process that collects skimmate for easier maintenance and improved water clarity.
Features:
- Internal (in-tank) protein skimmer design for convenient installation
- Uses an included skimmer pump (SP800) to drive foam production
- Air intake rated at 800 L/H to support bubble/foam generation
- Built to target dissolved organics, helping reduce the build-up that can contribute to dull water and waste accumulation
- Sized for aquarium systems up to the stated tank capacity when used as directed by the manufacturer
- Compact footprint to help fit many sumpless or space-limited setups
