The ConeS Q-2 In-Sump Protein Skimmer is a high-performance filtration device designed for saltwater aquariums. It efficiently removes organic waste and dissolved impurities from your tank water, utilizing a specialized bubble reaction chamber to produce a concentrated skimmate. This process ensures crystal clear water and a healthier environment for your marine inhabitants by preventing the buildup of harmful nutrients. This skimmer features an efficient hybrid-cone body that maximizes skimmate collection and a custom-engineered bubble chamber for precise skimming. It is powered by an Italian-made Sicce ‘Shark’ pump, custom-modified with proprietary needle-wheel impellers to generate optimal bubble size and draw in more air for superior protein extraction. With compact dimensions of 6.7" x 9.5" x 19.3" and a quiet operation, it consumes only 22 watts, making it suitable for sumps with an 8" recommended water level. It can handle light bioloads up to 250 gallons and heavy bioloads up to 130 gallons. The ConeS Q-2 is ideal for reef enthusiasts with larger saltwater tanks, especially those who require powerful filtration in a space-efficient footprint within their sump. Its user-friendly design, including a built-in air intake silencer and rubber feet for reduced vibration, ensures hassle-free operation and minimal maintenance. This skimmer is perfect for aquarists seeking reliable, quiet, and effective organic waste removal to maintain pristine water quality without complexity.
