ConeS Q-3 In-Sump Protein Skimmer (OPEN BOX) – Aquamaxx

Q-Series protein skimmers easily fit in most space-limited installations and supply powerful filtration. The hybrid-cone body stabilizes and concentrates the organic rich foam as it rises! Micro-adjustable valve provides precise control, and allows cleaned water to exit the skimmer chamber at its base where it is less bubble.AquaMaxx has a dedicated R&D team with more than 10 years experience designing high-performance, high-quality yet affordable protein skimmers. Moreover, AquaMaxx skimmers are engineered with computer-precision and are outfitted with the latest filtration innovations.The new ConeS Q-Series protein skimmers are made with new and efficient bubble chambers similar to ones found on our popular ConeS CO-Series. The bubble plate in conjunction with the custom diffusers are designed to efficiently mix air and water. More importantly, random twirling and turbulent flow is eliminated. A stable laminar flow is created inside the skimmer`s reaction chamber and maximizes the efficiency of the skimmer like no other design!HIGH PERFORMANCEAquaMaxx ConeS Skimmers feature high-quality Italian-made Sicce pumps. Each Sicce pump motor block is then modified and fitted with proprietary AquaMaxx needle wheel impellers. With the precise modifications and upgrades, performance is boosted much beyond that of a stock pump. The upgraded AquaMaxx ‘Shark’ pump is capable of drawing in significantly more air and chops them up to the optimum bubble size for protein extraction. These pump and protein skimmer combinations deliver unprecedented performance and reliability. Accumulated protein and organics will be vigorously removed from your tank so you can focus less on maintenance and more on enjoying your piece of the reef.SUPERIOR DESIGNAquaMaxx Cone-Series Protein Skimmers are designed from the ground up with the hobbyist in mind. A built-in air intake silencer reduces noise for near-silent operation. The hybrid-cone design maximizes the size of the reaction chamber and to allow the skimmate to smoothly rise into the collection cup. The advanced Bubble Chamber decreases turbulence and produced a stable laminar flow: which improves bubble transition and boosts skimmer performance.FEATURESModified and upgraded Italian Sicce needle-wheel pump produces optimum bubble size for high-efficiency protein skimmingCone body extends through the collection cup to easy bubble transition and maximize skimmer efficiencyEfficient, durable and reliableSimple to set up and operateCell-cast acrylic constructionShockMaxx rubber feet isolate noise and reduce vibrationNew outlet design minimizes footprint, reduces skimmer height and allows for fine-tuningExclusive collection cup design with a handle that allows you to easy hold and transport the collection cup for cleaningSPECIFICATIONSFiltration Rating: up to 420 Gallons (light bioload) or 240 Gallons (heavy bioload)Footprint: 8.7″ x 11.5″Pump: AquaMaxx SHARK 3.0 (modified and upgraded Sicce pump)Pump power consumption: 27 WattsChamber Diameter: 8″Height: 19.7″Recommended Water Level: 8″ – 9″AQUAMAXX FC SERIES = ULTRA COMPACT IN-SUMP SERIES The best bang for your buck.
