| Aqua Medic Protein Skimmer: Turboflotor T1000 with Ocean Runner 2700 pump. In-Sump Protein Skimmer for aquaria 25 to 250 gal.The Turboflotor T1000 is a powerful skimmer with a unique plumbing scheme that makes it the smartest little skimmer on the market. Taking advantage of the fact that the surface of your aquarium is where proteins collect naturally, the T1000 is designed to intake the water exiting the overflow of your tank. By delivering the surface skimmed water directly into the reaction chamber of the T1000, efficiency is maximized. If splicing into the drain-line plumbing is not an option in your system, the T1000 can be run from a tee off your main system pump or feed by a secondary pump. The T1000 Stand Alone requires a pump to vigorously re-circulate the volume of the reaction chamber, mixing it with finely chopped air bubbles. The T1000 is designed to be run on an Aqua Medic OR2700 (an Oceanrunner 2500 fitted with the formidable Needle Wheel Impellor). Also included is a Filter Box with bio balls, which installs on the exit pipes, to shed micro-bubbles and increases your biological capacity. The skimmer itself is entirely Ozone ready; simply replace the vinyl airline with silicone tubing (Ozone safe tubing) to connect the ozone generator to the venturi. Either way you plumb it the Turboflotor T1000 Stand Alone is the best skimmer available in this price range and easily out-preforms skimmers costing twice the price.Height: 22"Footprint: 7-1/4" x 16"Aqua Medic Turboflotor 1000 Stand Alone Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer Consists of the following parts: The protein skimmer`s reaction pipe with 2 exhaust pipes and one intake in the middle, two PVC throttle valves, collection cup with top cover, and the AquaMedic Oceanrunner 2700 with a patented Aqua Medic Needle Wheel.Working Principle:The Aqua Medic Turboflotor 1000 Stand Alone Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer is the newest technology in protein skimm |
