The MRC Pro III Skimmer is a professional-grade protein skimmer engineered for superior waste removal in very large saltwater and reef aquarium systems. Its primary function is to aggressively strip dissolved organic compounds from the water column, resulting in enhanced water clarity, reduced nutrient levels, and a healthier, more stable environment for sensitive marine life. Built by MRC America, this skimmer is a cornerstone of filtration for serious aquatic displays.

The unit boasts an impressive system capability, rated for aquariums between 1000 and 2000 gallons. It stands 48 inches tall with a substantial 26 by 28 inch footprint, featuring a massive 12-inch diameter reaction chamber for maximum contact time. The skimmer is powered by the included high-performance MRC PROIII needle wheel pump, which generates a dense and consistent foam head. A 1.5-inch gate valve allows for precise water level control, and it is designed for a recommended feed rate between 700 and 1000 gallons per hour.

This skimmer is designed for the advanced hobbyist, public aquariums, or aquaculture facilities managing heavily stocked, large-scale systems. Its robust construction and immense processing capacity make it an essential investment for those who require uncompromising performance and reliability. To complete the installation, users will need to supply a separate feed pump, with a model like the Sicce Syncra Pro 4000 being recommended to meet the skimmer's demanding flow requirements.
