The AquaReady ConeS Q-3 In-Sump Protein Skimmer provides powerful, top-tier filtration for saltwater aquariums. It efficiently removes protein and organic waste, maintaining pristine water quality for tanks up to 420 gallons with a light bioload or 240 gallons with a heavy bioload. Its compact footprint and in-sump design make it an ideal choice for integrating high-performance skimming into various setups.
This skimmer features a highly efficient hybrid-cone body and an optimized bubble chamber for maximum skimmate collection. It is powered by an Italian-made Sicce 'Shark' 3.0 pump with proprietary needle-wheel impellers, engineered to produce ideal bubble sizes and draw in more air for superior protein extraction. Designed for quiet operation, it includes a silent air intake and rubber feet to minimize noise and vibration, operating at just 27 watts. Its dimensions are 8.7" x 11.5" x 19.7", with a recommended water level of 8" - 9".
The AquaReady ConeS Q-3 is best suited for saltwater hobbyists seeking reliable, high-efficiency filtration in a user-friendly and quiet package. Its robust performance, combined with simple setup and low maintenance requirements, makes it a solid investment for those with medium to large reef tanks who prioritize clear water and a peaceful aquarium environment. The 1-year manufacturer warranty adds peace of mind.
