ClariSea SK-5000 Gen 3 – Auto Fleece Filter with Alarm

The ClariSea SK-5000 Gen 3 is an automatic mechanical fleece filter designed for large volume aquariums. This Gen 3 version includes all the improvements from Gen 2.1, with a pre-assembled body, a multi-diameter input adapter, and simplified roll loading.

It effectively removes suspended particles such as micro-algae, detritus, uneaten food, organic waste, and sediments present in the water column. It is suitable for marine aquariums, freshwater aquariums, fish breeding systems, and coral propagation setups.

Crystal Clear Water

The ClariSea SK-5000 fully replaces traditional filter socks. Continuous fleece filtration provides clear water without the hassle of manual maintenance.

Improved Light Penetration

By removing fine particles responsible for turbidity, the filter improves light penetration and promotes the growth of corals and aquatic plants.

Reduction of Organic Waste

Waste is continuously extracted before breaking down into nitrates and phosphates, contributing to the chemical and biological stability of the aquarium.

Reduced Load on the Skimmer

Very fine mechanical filtration significantly reduces the workload of the protein skimmer, enhancing its overall efficiency.

Greatly Reduced Maintenance

Constant filtration limits the clogging of pumps, circulation systems, and skimmers. The general maintenance of the setup is considerably simplified.

Less Detritus in the System

The ClariSea SK-5000 significantly reduces the accumulation of sediments in the substrate and sump, improving system hygiene.
