Marine Protein Skimmer

A protein skimmer is perhaps the most important piece of hardware for the salt water tank. It is a filter used to remove organic impurities from the water. Water is sent through a fractionating column where many tiny air bubbles are pushed through it. The air bubbles generate "foam", which actually consists of organic impurities. The "foam" is channeled out of the device and is kept in a collection cup until it can be discarded. There are three main classes of skimmers: counter current, co-current and venturi.

The Turboflotor Blue 1000 is is designed for use on aquaria up to 125 gallons. The 18” tall Blue 1000 shares some of the most popular traits of the Multi including one pump convenience and versatile hang-on or in-sump installation options.

The great new Blue design offers a large volume collection cup, our patented conical riser, precision control and high quality cast acrylic construction.

The super efficient 12 watt pump means it is easy on your power bill but don’t be fooled, to earn a place in the pantheon of Turboflotors this skimmer had to be fierce.
