The Bashsea Twisted Skimmer 8-30 is a premium protein skimmer engineered for superior organic waste removal in marine aquariums. Utilizing an advanced "twisted" design, this robust unit efficiently processes aquarium water to eliminate dissolved organic compounds, maintaining pristine water quality and a healthier environment for your reef inhabitants. It is specifically designed for marine use only, ensuring optimal performance in saltwater systems.
This high-performance skimmer boasts the ability to process 200% to 300% more water and waste per hour compared to needle wheel skimmers of comparable size, thanks to its extra-large reaction chamber that significantly increases dwell time.

It also provides the capability to inject ozone for enhanced oxidation. Please note that this model no longer includes a gate valve.
