The ASM G5 Protein Skimmer is a high-performance in-sump device engineered to efficiently remove organic waste compounds from saltwater reef aquariums. Utilizing advanced filtration technology, this skimmer actively extracts dissolved proteins and other pollutants from the water column, preventing their breakdown into harmful nitrates and phosphates. Its primary function is to maintain pristine water quality, which is essential for the health and vibrancy of sensitive corals, fish, and invertebrates in a marine environment.

Constructed from durable extruded PVC tubing and injection-molded plastic, the ASM G5 is built for longevity and reliable operation. It features a sophisticated needle wheel design powered by two Sedra 9000 pumps, which work in tandem to generate an exceptionally fine and dense bubble column for superior skimming action. Key specifications include a generous gallon rating for aquariums up to 700 gallons, an 8.5-inch reaction chamber diameter, a footprint of 16 inches by 17 inches, and an overall height of 36 inches, making it a robust solution for demanding setups.

This protein skimmer is an ideal choice for serious reef aquarists managing large-scale saltwater systems up to 700 gallons who prioritize robust and effective waste removal. Its "set it and forget it" ease of use, requiring only placement in the sump, plugging in, and simple outlet tube adjustment, makes it accessible even for those new to high-end skimming. By consistently removing organic pollutants, the ASM G5 helps cultivate a stable and healthy aquatic ecosystem, supporting optimal conditions for diverse reef inhabitants.
