The IceCap Skimmate Waste Collector is an essential piece of equipment designed to safeguard your saltwater aquarium from catastrophic protein skimmer overflows. It attaches to your skimmer's waste line, providing a large-capacity reservoir to safely contain excess skimmate. This durable container acts as insurance against Murphy's Law, giving you peace of mind by preventing messy and potentially harmful spills that can foul your sump and tank water.

This collector boasts several key features for reliable performance, including a built-in overflow safety switch that can shut off your skimmer when connected to a compatible controller, such as an IceCap or HYDROS unit. It also includes a removable carbon filter cup to effectively neutralize unpleasant skimmate odors. Available in multiple sizes to suit any setup, including 1.5L and 4.5L external models and a 2.5L hang-on-back version, each unit features a standard 3/8-inch intake for broad compatibility with most protein skimmers and testing machines.

This product is ideal for any reef aquarist who wants to automate their system's safety and reduce maintenance. It is particularly beneficial for hobbyists who travel, have busy schedules, or run nutrient-rich systems that produce a large volume of wet skimmate. By preventing overflows and containing waste, the IceCap Waste Collector protects your investment, maintains water stability, and allows for less frequent emptying of your skimmer's collection cup.
