  Description
Urchin Pro In-Sump w/ Rio 1400 Kit Features:
  • Model # : Urchin Pro In-Sump
  • Tank Size (Gallons): 40–120
  • Included Pump: Rio 1400 (flowrate of 420 gph)
  • Skimmer Height: 20"
  • Footprint: 7.5" x 5.25"
*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.

Urchin Skimmer by KYLE SHELLY
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 10/27/2007 from SAN DIEGO, CA UNITED STATES
Comments: So far I think its doing an excellent job. It was easy to install. However, I did have to cut the plastic tube to perfectly match the pumps valve height. It's easy to clean and easy to maintain. More importantly, it gets out a ton of junk.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
