The RK600PE Protein Fractionator Skimmer is a high-performance filtration device engineered for advanced saltwater reef aquariums. Utilizing a sophisticated fractionation process, this skimmer efficiently removes dissolved organic compounds and particulate matter from the water column, preventing the accumulation of nitrates and phosphates that can harm sensitive coral and fish. Air, and optionally ozone, are injected into the bottom of the reaction chamber, while water enters from the top, creating a highly effective cross-current mixing effect essential for robust foam formation. The concentrated foam then rises, becomes more dense, and is automatically ejected as waste. This robust unit features durable molded HDPE reaction chambers and a crucial counter-current design for optimal foam production. It includes an integrated Wash Down System and offers an optional Automated Venturi Cleaning mechanism to maintain peak efficiency with minimal effort. Key components such as tuned Mazzei Venturi Pumps, Kynar Mazzei Venturi Injectors, an ozone gas connection port, and air flow meters ensure superior performance. Quality is further emphasized with a screw top lid, clear sight gauge, Hayward or Asahi ball valves, highest quality MDM pumps made in the U.S.A., and Spears piping and fittings also made in the U.S.A. The RK600PE Protein Fractionator Skimmer is ideal for serious reef aquarists, public aquariums, or commercial facilities seeking unparalleled water quality and reliability. Its industrial-grade construction and advanced automation features minimize maintenance while maximizing nutrient export, ensuring a pristine and stable environment for even the most demanding marine inhabitants. This unit provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining the highest standards of water purity in large or heavily stocked reef systems.
