Protein Skimmer

Collection Cup with built in foam-view windowPatented window built into the side of the skimmer neck allows for accurate real time evaluation of foam production. The Triple-Pass PrincipleRed Sea?s patented Triple-Pass maximizes the water air contact time inside the skimmer reaction chamber stripping the aquarium water for even the smallest traces of organic pollutants, while minimizing the external dimensions and footprint of the product. By forcing the water-air mixture along a circuitous route, the Berlin X2 achieves a total surface area equal to that of much larger conventional skimmers. Benefits Highly efficient skimming action Removes even the smallest traces of organic pollutants from aquarium water Super compact design Minimal loss of seawaterTurbo aspirator NEW high performance pinwheel impeller Increased quantity of superfine air bubbles in homogenous air-water mixture Max. water throughtput: 900 lph / 225 gph Max. air throughtput: 300 lph / 75 gphHang-on-tank kitEnables the Berlin X2 to be quickly and easily converted from in-sump to hang-on configuration, offering the user greater flexibility and customization possibilities. The hang-on-tank kits is comprised of quick-fit parts for user-friendly installation and maintenance. Long term pollutant reductionTests have shown that over time the Berlin X2 is extremely effective in lowering the level of oxygen-consuming pollutants (COD/BOD) in the aquarium water. How do we rate our skimmers? The recommended aquarium volume ratings for the Berlin X2 have been calculated according the optimum turnover rate per aquarium type, as determined by laboratory test conducted at Red Sea. They are as follows: Fish tank: 1 turnover/h Soft Corals (LPS): 1.5-2 turnover/h Hard Corals (SPS): 3-4 turnover/h
