*Urchin Pro needs an additional 6 inches for collection cup removal. Minimum height needed for easy maintanence is 26 inches.
Finally, a small sump skimmer that requires no plumbing, fiddling with, or constant maintenance. The Urchin Pro is the newest addition to AquaC`s line of innovative protein skimmers that utilize spray induction technology. Based on the popular Remora, the Urchin Pro 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 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.

Comments: for the price and for performance this is a great skimmer that pulls all kinds of foul gunk out, and with the drain assembly, I only have to drain and clean every 2 to 3 days.
I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have been in the saltwater hobby for over ten years, I have tried various skimmers, the CPR Backpak, the Red Sea Prizm, Sea Clone Skimmer, Pro Clear Skimmer, and Berlin Hang On and none have impressed me as much as the Urchin Pro. Within two days the Urchin was filling up the waste collector on my Oceanic 110. I have a huge bio load as well with a Porcupine Puffer, Undulate Trigger, Yellow Tang, Vtail Grouper and a Wrasse, and the Urchin is going liek crazy. I highly recommend it, it outperforms more expensive skimmers by far. AAA+++
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
