Description

AquaC Urchin In-Sump Skimmer, No Pump Features:

Tank Size (Gallons): up to 75
Skimmer Height: 18"
*Urchin and Urchin Pro need an additional 6 inches for collection cup removal. Minimum height needed for easy maintanence is 24 and 26 inches, respectively.

Finally, a small sump skimmer that requires no plumbing, fiddling with, or constant maintenance. The Urchin is the newest addition to AquaC`s line of innovative protein skimmers that utilize spray induction technology. Based on the popular Remora, the Urchin is a sump model that is suitable for small tanks that don`t require the waste-removing power of the AquaC EV Series. No plumbing required, simply drop in the sump and plug in the pump! Unlike most sump skimmers, the Urchin does not need to be raised or tinkered with to maintain the proper water level. For those with larger mini-reefs, try the Urchin Pro.

The Urchin and Urchin Pro requires the smallest amount of sump space of any skimmer in it`s class:
AquaC Urchin footprint: 6" x 4.75"
AquaC Urchin Pro footprint: 7.5" x 5.25"

Note: Do not be deceived by the smaller pumps needed to run these protein skimmers. These are extremely efficient protein skimmers. For example, the Urchin Pro is powered with only a Rio 1400, but it greatly outperforms a Red Sea Berlin Skimmer powered with a Rio 2500. Therefore, an AquaC protein skimmer consumes less electricity, transfers less heat to the aquarium, and still outperforms larger skimmers.

Excellent!

Works Great! by DUSTIN

Comments: I got this based on recommendation I have a 30 gallon tank and this sits in the sump its a touch bigger then the bak-pak I used to have down there but it really works alot better. It uses suction to skim and once you get the cup adjusted your in business..its also taller then I thought so just make sure you have a little extra height to give when you install
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Enough said. It skims. I have a small space in my sump and my water levels change all the time. This is ideal if you have a small space and changing water level. Works great.
