Protein Skimmer

Welcome to the patent-pending automatic self-cleaning protein skimmer!  Our protein skimmer has several useful advantages over traditional protein skimmers.  The biggest maintenance chore for traditional skimmers is frequent neck cleaning.  We have a novel rectangular design that completely eliminates the skimmer neck.  We have replaced the skimmer neck, or "gunk accumulation zone", with a fully automated, digitally-controlled self-cleaning assembly.  A motor turns on once daily and the included filter fleece captures the skimmate and wipes clean the upper skimmer walls.  A large PVC drain at the top allows the liquid skimmate to be collected into a large (not included) reservoir.  The filter fleece lasts 3 months or more, and can be changed in minutes.  The reservoir (purchased separately) holds over 1 gallon of liquid skimmate.  Our over-sized, powerful and controllable DC motor is quiet, reliable and efficient.  If you are sick of skimmer maintenance, this skimmer is for you!
