AquaC EV120 with Rio 2100 Kit Features: Height: 18" Included Pump: Rio 2100 (flowrate of 692 gph) Footprint: 4.75" x 8.5" Foam Tower: 4"OD Tank Size: 40-150 gallons JG Fitting: optional Bubble Size: .03–.05mm Water flow-thru rate: 225gph Volume of foam produced: 90cu.in. The revolutionary AquaC protein skimmers do not use venturis, downdraft tubes, or air pumps; they employ the patented "Spray Induction System." This innovation allows the protein skimmer to efficiently draw in much more air than any other of the top protein skimmers. This coupled with the superiorly designed compact reaction chamber yields results that will literally blow the waste out of your water. The redesigned and improved EV Series skimmers raise AquaC`s spray injection skimming (U.S. Patent # 6,156,209) to a new level in terms of efficiency, performance, and value. A new baffling system combined with a significantly larger mixing box results in far less turbulence and increased contact time. The net effect is a dramatic increase in skimmer performance despite a drop in pump pressure requirements. AquaC`s molded spray injector now generates a significantly larger number of microbubbles, boosting overall performance to unbelievable levels considering such low pump pressure requirements. Features: The addition of a precision ball valve for airflow control allows the aquarist to fine tune the skimmer`s output. Unlike most other high performance skimmers in this class, the EV is remarkably silent. The spray injection system does not generate the sucking noises typical of venturi and Beckett units. The John Guest "Speedfit" fitting is a great feature you will only find on AquaC ozone-equipped skimmers. This fitting is standard on models EV-240 and above, and can be ordered on the EV-120/180 ($5.00 option). Aquarists may also connect their calcium reactor effluent line to the skimmer`s speedfit connection. The pH of a calcium reactor effluent typically falls between 6.5-6.9, and over time the addition of this low pH effluent can have a deleterious effect on the system`s pH level. By dosing your effluent directly into the skimmer, excess CO2 will be "blown off" into the atmosphere and the tank pH will remain unaffected. The improved "Twist-Lock" collection cup and cap makes for a secure, flanged connection without the need for set screws or other locking type unions. Simply twist to crack the seal (EPDM gaskets) and removal requires a scant ¼" clearance. The new EV Series skimmers can be operated with AquaC`s auto-waste container, which are available in 2.5 and 5 liter sizes. Increased contact time = more protein removal. The size of the mixing box has been increased on all models by approximately 40%. To accommodate the extra foam the skimmers now feature taller and wider reaction towers, as well. Customer Reviews Write a review 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Excellent! excellent skimmer by ANTHONY MORSE Experience Level: Intermediate Posted on 11/30/2007 from NEW YORK, NY UNITED STATES Comments: I was a little confused at first with this product because as soon as I hooked it up there was foam coming up into the cup. It does say a break-in process in user manual...but I dont think there really is a break-in process. That was the only confusing thing I had with this other then that this thing for sure does it job and is worth every cent!. I empty the cup once a day or so. I cant believe what this pulls out of my tank...some nasty stuff. I would recommend this highly. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
