DC Protein Skimmer ASF is a compact, adjustable external skimmer for marine aquariums from 50 to 200 L, equipped with a quiet DC pump delivering 500 to 800 L/h and a titanium rotor.
The DC Protein Skimmer ASF by Aquarium Systems is a compact skimmer designed to provide effective filtration for marine and reef aquariums from 50 to 200 L. Its hanging design allows it to be installed directly on the aquarium rim, making it a particularly attractive solution for setups without a sump.
Its transparent acrylic body makes it easy to monitor foam formation and simplifies the various adjustments. Compact, discreet, and easy to maintain, the DC Protein Skimmer ASF combines an adjustable DC pump with an efficient microbubble production system.
The DC Protein Skimmer ASF skimmer is equipped with a DC pump offering an adjustable flow rate from 500 to 800 L/h. Its built-in controller makes it easy to adapt the skimmer’s operation to the aquarium’s needs.
The pump uses a titanium mesh rotor to promote the creation of fine microbubbles and the mixing of air and water. An easily accessible on/off button directly on the controller also simplifies maintenance.
Thanks to its hanging design, the DC Protein Skimmer ASF can be placed directly outside the aquarium. Its mounting bracket accommodates glass thickness or bracing up to 4 cm.
No special priming is required. The water inlet and outlet can be precisely adjusted, while the cup height can also be set to adapt the skimming column.
The water outlet of the DC Protein Skimmer includes a black foam insert designed to retain microbubbles before they return to the aquarium. This design helps achieve a more visually discreet operation while maintaining a particularly compact setup.
