The IceCap K3-160 INT is a conveniently compact in-sump protein skimmer designed to deliver exceptional filtration for marine aquariums up to 250 gallons. It efficiently removes dissolved organic waste from the water column, improving water clarity and overall tank health. Constructed from high-quality acrylic, this skimmer is built to last and provides superior performance while occupying minimal space within your sump.

This model features a controllable and efficient DCAIR 2.5 pinwheel pump, which produces an ideal mix of air and water for optimal waste removal. The included controller offers 10 distinct power levels and a feed timer for enhanced control. Key specifications include a small 6.7 by 8.5-inch footprint, a total height of 21.25 inches, and quiet operation thanks to its submerged pipeless output design.

The adjustable pump makes it versatile for a range of bioloads, effectively handling heavily stocked tanks up to 125 gallons, medium bioloads up to 175 gallons, or lightly stocked systems as large as 250 gallons. Its user-friendly controls and solid construction make it a reliable centerpiece for your aquarium's life support system.
