Description

The Deltec MCE600 is the ultimate hang on skimmer and since its introduction at the end of 2003 has taken the market by storm.
Its new design gives it the flexibility to hang on almost any brand of aquarium or for it to be used inside or hanging on the outside of a sump.

There is a chamber built into the skimmer where media such as RowaPhos or carbon can be used in a sock or bag and there is even an optional media box available.

The performance is as you would expect from any Deltec skimmer, drawing in 300lts of air per hour for maximum waste removal.

The Deltec philosophy is that for every 1000 Ltrs of water in the aquarium that you require 400 - 500 Ltrs of air per hour to achieve efficient skimming. This makes the MCE600 skimmer suitable for 700 Ltrs (155 gallons) for a normally stocked reef aquarium or 450 Ltrs (100 gallons) for a heavily stocked fish only system.

From testing that we have carried out we have found that Deltec skimmers produce at least 2 - 4 times the air volume used on most competitors skimmers which are claimed to be suitable for comparable water volumes.

Technical Data:

Can be hung on the outside of the aquarium or sump.

300 litres of air/hr are produced at the venturi.

L 260mm W 180mm H 500mm (normal position).

deltec mce600 skimmer by BRIAN EISENMAN

Comments: It may be expensive but is by far the best hang on the back skimmer made. I have had it up and running on my 30 gal. reef for over a week and it is already pulling out waste at an amazing rate. Quiet, no bubbles going back to the tank and extremely efficient. The pump might need to be realigned after shipping but after that the unit is easy to assemble. Yes I would recommend this to anyone who wants the best and this truly is.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is the very best HOT skimmer made anywhere in the world. It is overpriced, especially as the construction is very simple, but its performance is superb. Easy to clean. Those of you who use other brands and think they are better should try using yours and then borrowing a Deltec and putting it on your tank. The stuff it pulls out is amazing.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
