Description

Urchin Pro In-Sump w/ MagDrive 3 Kit Features:

Model # : Urchin Pro In-Sump
Tank Size (Gallons): 40–120
Included Pump: Mag-Drive3 (flowrate of 350 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.

MagDrive 3 features:

Watts: 35
Pump Size (L x W x H): 5.0 x 3.8 x 4.2
Outlet Size / Inlet Size: 1/2" MPT / 1/2" FPT

Great

Impressive for the price! by John Spencer

Comments: So far this has been a great little skimmer! Small footprint, good foam production. Only think I find a bit annoying after owning a larger skimmer with a valve to control the "density" of skimmate, on this you play a bit of a teetering game with a rubber ring on the collection cup. All in all, I'm very pleased.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Excellent!

As Expected by DAVID AMELUNG

Comments: Urchin is working well. Does require adjustment of collection cup height using the included o-ring for optimum performance, but this is easily accomplished and really no big deal. So far (one week)the unit is skimming about half the volume of the collection cup per day. This is more per day than the two previous skimmers that the urchin replaced, which were running at the same time. Start the Urchin collection cup at it's highest level and go from there until you get steady stable foam production. I am very pleased with this product.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
