AquaMaxx HOB Series Protein Skimmer

The AquaMaxx Hang on Back Series I (HOB-1) protein skimmer features an incredibly responsive collection cup and an amazingly powerful submersible pump. It is rated up to 75 gallons in a design thin and light enough to be placed on a nano or other small saltwater aquarium.

The AquaMaxx HOB Series I protein skimmer removes organic waste from aquarium water. It creates a strong mix of small air bubbles and turbulent water movement to force protein, waste and other materials into a collection cup for easy removal.

AquaMaxx skimmers are computer-precision engineered and utilize the latest filtration technology to deliver the performance and value you are looking for in a protein skimmer.

EASE OF USE
AquaMaxx HOB Series I protein skimmers are easy to setup and maintain. Just move the collection cup up or down to adjust the foam level to wet or dry.

Maintenance is simple. A removable collection cup makes cleaning easy. Plus, every AquaMaxx protein skimmer includes a drain fitting for hobbyists who want to setup a separate reservoir for skimmate.

Water quality and consistency is crucial to the success of a marine aquarium. An AquaMaxx HOB Series I protein skimmer will help to ensure that success.

COMPACT DESIGN
AquaMaxx protein skimmers were designed from the ground up with the hobbyist in mind. AquaMaxx HOB Series I protein skimmers have the pump placed inside the skimmer itself to save space, reduce noise and improve efficiency.

All AquaMaxx protein skimmers are computer designed. Each unit is precision-cut and made of polished cell-cast acrylic.

PERFORMANCE
The AquaMaxx HOB Series I protein skimmer relies on a superbly crafted Italian Sicce Syncra 1.5 pump and AquaMaxx needlewheel impeller to vigorously remove waste from your fish or reef tank. Sicce pumps are well-regarded for their efficiency to move air and water. Combining these dynamic pumps with AquaMaxx protein skimmers saves users considerable energy.

Specifications:

Dimension : L 7.5 x W 3.5 x H 17 Inch
Pump(included): Sicce Syncra 1.5
Pump power consumption: 11 Watts
Outlet size: 3/4 Inch
Volume rating: 50-75 Gallons

All of our products are backed by a 60-day return policy although the skimmers will also carry a 90-day manufacturer warranty from AquaMaxx. Each skimmer will include detailed instructions and diagrams to help hobbyists get up and running immediately.

Comments: Skimmer construction was quite impressive for the price. Excellent pump quality with a bubble plate really makes this thing rip up the proteins. You can easily adjust the cup height to accomodate just about any water level you desire. Microbubbles have be pretty much been obsolete all together. They also use a larger airline with needlewheel so the foam productions is great compared to any other hang on skimmer I have used. Highly recommended and on top of it all....it looks killer with the royal blue acrylic plastic.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Best little skimmer! by ANNA LOKSHIN

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 6/25/2010 from PITTSBURGH, PA UNITED STATES

Comments: This is the best HOB skimmer that I have seen so far. The design is original and efficient, it arrives fully assembled, just add water and start. They recommend rinsing it with warm water to speed up breaking in process - do as they recommend. It starts making bubbles and skimmate right away. It is slim, takes little space on the tank rim, quiet, and, yes, blue. I am so very impressed!!! Great value for the money!
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
