Description

The AP851 Protein Skimmer is a well established favourite for aquariums from 1000 to 1500 lts. It incorporates the patented "Neuhaus" Pinwheel system in a modified Eheim 1260 pump, resulting in unsurpassed skimming performance.

Air is drawn in automatically through an air intake adaptor. The rotation of the water/air mixture provides a long contact time with the pollutants resulting in a highly efficient performance. The extremely fine water/air mixture is pumped into the contact tube, where it rises and is collected in a removable cup at the top of the skimmer.

The AP851 produces a maximum level of air of 600 lts per hour.

Excellent!

In a word... amazing by DAVE PUETZ

Experience Level: Expert

Comments: This is a remarkable machine. I've tried the rest (Berlin, AquaC, etc), but now I use the best. Amazingly efficent and remarkably productive (nog production) given the power consumption. This is a very well built, reliable, easy to use and maintain skimmer. For me, this skimmer sets the bar, and although the cost is higher than many are expecting, I can tell you that I have no regrets whatsoever about the investment. This is the best skimmer I've ever used. Deltec lives up to it's impeccable reputation.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Skimmer by Deltec User

Comments: This skimmer works great. Design and build quality are excellent like all Deltec equipment. Once dialed is this skimmer does not need any attention other than cleaning the neck and emptying the collection cup.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
