The Deltec Skimmer 6000iz is a high-end internal skimmer specially designed for marine aquariums from 3000 to 6000 liters. Thanks to its adjustable dual Deltec DCC 5 pump, it offers an impressive skimming capacity of up to 3800 liters of air per hour while maintaining quiet operation and flexible installation in your sump.
The Skimmer 6000iz is equipped with two low voltage 24-volt pumps, each adjustable via a 10-position controller. At position 8, recommended for most setups, each pump delivers 1600 liters of air per hour. The combined flow can reach up to 3800 L/h, with a total consumption between 46 and 86 watts. This flexibility allows for fine-tuning of the power according to the organic load of the aquarium.
The skimmer body is perfectly cylindrical, with no tapering towards the top. This geometry promotes the steady rise of microbubbles, optimizing air/water contact. Proteins and other waste are thus extracted efficiently. The collected liquid is evacuated directly through a tube, without the need to remove the collection cup.
An optional manual rotating cleaning system can be added. Simply turn the lid of the collection cup to clean the internal column, removing deposits that hinder foam formation. This ensures consistent skimming performance without effort or frequent disassembly.
Like all models in the range, the Deltec Skimmer 6000iz is designed for quick maintenance. It can be fully disassembled without tools, and the pump can be removed in less than 20 seconds. This ease of access allows for regular cleaning, essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of the skimmer.
With its dimensions of 36 cm in length, 32 cm in width, and 66 cm in height, this skimmer easily integrates into a standard sump. It is designed to operate in a water height between 18 and 26 cm, offering great flexibility depending on the layout of your setup.
The Deltec Skimmer 6000iz is a top choice for experienced aquarists seeking a powerful, quiet, and fully adjustable skimmer capable of maintaining crystal clear water in very large volume reef aquariums.
