AquaMaxx ConeS Series In-Sump Protein Skimmers efficiently remove organic waste from aquarium water. The hybrid cone body, the advanced bubble chamber and the proprietary conical diffusers work synergistically to efficiently mix air and water. More importantly, random twirling and turbulent flow is eliminated. A stable laminar flow is created inside the skimmer`s reaction chamber and maximizes the performance and efficiency of the skimmer like no other design!
Achieve a stable laminar flow and maximize performance and efficiency!
In conjunction with the innovative bubble chamber, a powerful needle wheel pump generates optimally-sized air bubbles that force protein, waste and other materials through the hybrid cone body and into a collection cup for easy removal. The AquaMaxx ConeS Series is rated for aquariums 90-800 gallons yet are small enough to be concealed in a sump underneath your aquarium.
Computer-precision engineered and outfit with the latest filtration technology, AquaMaxx protein skimmers are engineered to deliver the performance and value you are looking for in a skimmer.
AquaMaxx ConeS Series Skimmers are built using a brilliantly polished cell-cast acrylic. They incorporate the high-end features hardcore hobbyists demand at a price everyone can afford. The ConeS Series is equipped with advanced bubble chambers, hybrid-cone bodies, air silencers and needle wheel impellers for maximum performance, efficiency and whisper quiet operation. They also have compact footprints to make installation as easy as possible.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
AquaMaxx ConeS Skimmers feature high-quality Italian-made Sicce pumps. Each Sicce pump motor block is then modified and fitted with proprietary AquaMaxx needle wheel impellers. With the precise modifications and upgrades, performance is boosted much beyond that of a stock pump. The upgraded AquaMaxx ‘Shark’ pump is capable of drawing in significantly more air and chops them up to the optimum bubble size for protein extraction. These pump and protein skimmer combinations deliver unprecedented performance and reliability. Accumulated protein and organics will be vigorously removed from your tank so you can focus less on maintenance and more on enjoying your piece of the reef.
SUPERIOR DESIGN
AquaMaxx Cone-Series Protein Skimmers are designed from the ground up with the hobbyist in mind. A built-in air intake silencer reduces noise for near-silent operation. The hybrid-cone design maximizes the size of the reaction chamber and to allow the skimmate to smoothly rise into the collection cup. The advanced Bubble Chamber decreases turbulence and produced a stable laminar flow: which improves bubble transition and boosts skimmer performance.

Q
aquamaxx cones co-1
the instructions say the skimmer must have 9in of water my sump I fixed at 7in of water. can I still use it
Asked : Jan 01, 2018
By : edwin svejkovsky, mansfield ohio
The recommended water level is 9.5 inches. It should still work in 7 inches, it might take longer for the foam to push up into the collection cup with a lower water level.

Q
Impeller and other replacement / maint parts
Hi, I am considering adding the AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 to the first section of my Trigger Systems Sapphire 26 I purchased from Marine Depot several months ago. As I evaluate upgrading my protein skimmer from the SCA brand to a more reputable skimmer I want to take a look at long term maintenance needs I might run into that I have experienced with the current skimmer. Where can I buy replacement parts for the AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1? Are replacement impellers, gaskets, or whole pump assembly for this skimmer available from Marine Depot? I'm one of those resistant to change reef keepers so I like to make sure the equipment I use is serviceable well into the future until new advancements in technology present a better solution that meets my budget. Thanks.
We are the main distributor for AquaMaxx products; you can get these parts from us. When you need replacement parts, please contact our customer service team https://www.marinedepot.com/help_md_contact_us.html
CONS
Cons: Drain tube is useless (very short) and can't seem to find any reference as to what size inside diameter it might be. Also, controlling the air ratio of skimmer is as flakey as the cheaper models out there, wish this was a tad better for the price.

I've owned one of these AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 In-Sump Protein Skimmers for a while now, so this is a follow up review. I currently have one of the 'popular' competing brands/designs serving another aquarium, and I have got to let folks know that the AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 In-Sump Protein Skimmer is so much more easier to maintain. I can take this skimmer out of my sump, and soak it in some vinegar for 5 minutes, and disassemble this skimmer so simple to do too and reach every spot easily without worrying about breaking any part. The clean up on this skimmer is done in 10 minutes, 30+ on the other one that cost almost twice as much. Performance wise, this skimmer is doing a mighty fine job too. It pulls out the thickest, most nastiest hunk of crud ever, it is easy to tune, the collection cut is so well designed, just twist slightly and use the handle to lift off the base. Run in time after a thorough clean is about 12 hours for me. There are lots of reviews from when folks 'first' receive a product, I'm not sure how many are out there years after the product has been in service, so I hope this helps.Hide
PROS
Quiet. Seems like such a little thing but it makes the tank so much more relaxing
CONS
None so far

Quality made product with a sicce pump which have been good and reliable in the past for me. Have been running this skimmer for nearly 2 years now and has performed pretty well. Has a very unique design, small footprint for tight spaces and easy to teardown. Only a couple questionable things for me with the skimmer; not completely sure if the slanted cup results in less or more efficient foam/ skinmate collection, and must get skimmer in at least the rated 8" of water if you desire anything but dry skimmate.Hide

I have this skimmer in the sump of my Red Sea reefer 350! It is an excellent skimmer tool only a couple days to break in and has been removing a nice amount of skimmate ever since! This is one of the quietest non D/C skimmers on the market in my opinion! My only issue is finding the right water height.. at the recommended level air tends to get into the air silencer.. I currently have it at about 8.5 inches water height and works great!Hide
