This protein skimmer works to effectively and efficiently take care of aquarium waste to keep your ecosystem healthy, functional, and looking great. Fish waste, excess food, suspended particulates, and undesirable color pigments are all properly filtered out with this device. Featuring a honeycomb bubble plate, a large collection cup, an outlet regulating valve, a needle brush pump, an external silencer, and anti-vibration rubber pads, this protein skimmer provides a fantastic and customizable user experience. These protein skimmers work by a needle brush water pump at the bottom of the skimmer taking in water, working in tandem with the honeycomb bubble plate to make the water foam up. The foam makes its way to the top of the skimmer collection cup. Waste, excess food, and other contaminants are brought to the surface of this foam and fall into the sides of the collection cup. Once the collection cup is full, simply remove the cup and discard waste into a sink/toilet.
