The IceCap K1-130 is a remarkably compact, in-sump protein skimmer designed to deliver a new level of refined filtration for saltwater marine aquariums. Its primary function is to efficiently remove dissolved organic compounds and other waste materials from the water column, resulting in a healthier and clearer aquatic environment. This skimmer was engineered from the ground up to surpass the performance of other models on the market, offering superior waste extraction in a space-saving design.

This model is powered by the highly efficient EVair 400 pinwheel pump, which consumes only 8 watts of power while producing a significant air draw of 400 liters per hour. Key design features include a distinctive turbulence-reducing body, a bubble dispersant chamber, and a novel pipeless output valve for easy and precise adjustments. Constructed from solid PVC and acrylic, the K1-130 has a compact footprint of just 5.6 by 7.3 inches and stands 19 inches tall, making it suitable for sumps with a recommended water height between 6 and 8 inches.

The IceCap K1-130 is an ideal filtration solution for a wide range of aquarists. It is rated for aquariums up to 140 gallons with a light bioload, 100 gallons with a medium bioload, or 80 gallons with a heavy bioload. This versatility makes it a perfect choice for hobbyists who need a powerful, reliable, and quiet skimmer that can fit into tight sump compartments without sacrificing performance, whether they are maintaining a fish-only system or a densely packed SPS coral reef.
