The recommended maximum flow rating for this skimmer is 400 GPH. These numbers are based on zero back pressure on the output plumbing. If you add 90° bends on the plumbing back to a sump you may need to back off the amount of water being feed through the skimmer. We recommend that you use a ball valve inline from your feed pump to the skimmer allowing you to control the water flow.High performance venturi air injection systemModified cone neck design designed for easy transition of micro bubbles into cupRequires a feed pump or plumbed from an overflow to inject water into skimmerCan be in sump or externalMetric plumbing parts.1 year warranty on skimmer and pumpNote:A feed pump is required that can flow around 1.5 – 2 times the systems volume. We suggest a pump around 200 – 400 GPH, and particularly like the VarioS 2 Controllable DC pump or Sicce Syncra Silent 1.5, we also highly recommend a gate valve to help control and fine tune the flow of water into the skimmer from the feed pump.Filtration HandlingWell Stocked Tank – Rated up to 100 gallonsMedium Stocked Tank – Rated up to 150 gallonsLight Stocked Tank – Rated up to 200 gallonsSkimmer Specifications:Body Diameter: 5″Neck Size: 3″Foot Print: 12.2″ x 10.4″Total Height: 25.6″Output Size: 40mm – 1.25”Input Size: 1/2″ Union/5/8″ BarbAquatrance 2000s Pinwheel Pump Features:Air Draw: 720 L/H*Power Consumption: 18W*Aquarium set up will determine air and water results.What’s Included?Classic 150EXT Protein SkimmerAquatrance 2000s Pinwheel PumpOutput Gate ValveMetric to Standard Adapter
