High performance skimmer for tanks up to 500 gallons (2000 liters).
Built to perform Extreme performance. Very smooth operation. Low power consumption. Easy to maintain.
Extreme performance
Performance, performance and once again performance. NYOS® Quantum® is characterised by high skimming performance as a result of the large amount of air in combination with and optimum air-water mixture.
Very smooth operation
Aquariums should be seen and not heard. That is NYOS® Quantum® is especially silent when running and therefore can hardly be heard.
Low power consumption
NYOS® Quantum® is conceived to be especially energy efficient and uses a minimum of power, despite its huge performance.
Easy to maintain
Consistently strong skimming and simple settings are a joy. For this reason, NYOS® Quantum® is especially easy to maintain and provides the same consistent level of performance over a long period of time. Reliable pump starts are a matter of course.
7 Great Features
1. The new NYOS® Hybrid Wheel
The heart of every skimmer is its propulsion. That is why we have developed a new high-performance drive for the Quantum®: the Hybrid Wheel. This especially precisely manufactured impeller, built with superlight materials, combines the advantages of a needle wheel and a lattice wheel. The Hybrid Wheel is characterised by its lattice-shaped base, on which numerous very narrow needles are mounted. This structure ensures that countless extremely fine micro air bubbles are generated. The greatly reduced weight and the high precision lead to lower maintenance and at the same time low energy consumption.
2. NYOS® Clear-View Reactor
The hybrid wheel needs a pump chamber that is specially adapted to it. That is why we have developed the NYOS® Clear-View Reactor. The Clear-View Reactor is a transparent, performance-optimised large-volume reaction chamber in which the water-air mixture is generated. In combination with the hybrid wheel and the adapted venturi nozzle, it produces an extreme air performance with an optimum air-water ratio. Its transparency means that any foreign bodies can be identified easily. At the same time it is possible to see the huge performance of the pump in operation. Stylish and practical!
3. The NYOS® Twister
Extreme air performance and the finest bubbles are one thing. But in order to achieve optimum skimming, the bubbles that are generated must also remain in contact with the water for as long as possible. That is why, in addition to our normal bubble plate, we have developed the saw-blade shaped Twister. This gives the bubbles an additional spin and swirls them further in a vortex. This greatly increases the contact time of the air bubbles in the water column.
4. Combination of form and function: the Sinus design
Water doesn’t like corners. That is why we have developed a flow-optimised, protected double-S form. In this so-called Sinus design the air bubbles can rise without hindrance and completely free, ergonomically so to speak, without the formation of poor-flow zones at disruptive corners.
5. Precision and details
A good idea must be implemented perfectly to the very last detail. Each Quantum® is therefore characterised by the following: 1. Extremely non-breakable high-performance waves from zirconium dioxide (strength 1600 MPa Vickers hardness) 2. Nine sea-waterproof screws from pure titanium grade 2 3. Precise micro-adjustment screws to fine-tune the water level 4. Full decoupling by means of silicone feet 5. Skimming pot with twist-lock seal 6. Ready-to-use plug-and-play device
6. Optimised, variable setting options
Each aquarium is different. That is why NYOS® Quantum® can be adapted individually to all aquarium conditions: water quantity and air quantity can be set separately and independently of each other. An approximate setting of the water level is achieved by means of the water setting pipe, while the especially precise micro-adjustment screw, which is also included, allows an additional fine-tuning of the water level.
7. Compact construction yet can be dismantled completely
We represent compact, well thought-out solutions. NYOS® Quantum® deliberately does not use any externally mounted, bulky pumps. For us it is self-evident that the device must be able to be dismantled completely.

I’ve owned the nyos 220 now for 2 months running on my 187 gallon system. Skimmate is awesome easy break in Period and dead silent.
Only con and reason why I made it a 4 star instead of 5 is due to the Venturi fitting coming loose every time the skimmer is shut down then when you turn it back on it send insane amount of micro bubbles into the tank
Great skimmer worth the money they just need to fix that issue and I’m not the first person with this problemHide
CONS
Instructions aren't the best had to go to YouTube to learn how to dial in

Once you get the correct water level this skimmer is a monster Have it on my 600 gallon system and is working great. I have to change the cup every day and dark skim too

Hi, I have had this skimmer operating for 8 weeks now and the performance is spotty and marginal for a $500.00 skimmer. As noted by other reviewers the build quality is excellent however the controls are the skimmers weak point. The break in period was short but the skimmer requires almost constant daily attention. The skimmer is controlled by an adjustable gate that allows water to escape and a needle valve that controls the amount of air entering the needle wheel. The needle valve is part of the problem. It has coarse threads which make adjusting the unit difficult. This isn't my first skimmer so I know how to adjust them. I have both Red Sea and CPR skimmers on my other tanks which are much easier to balance.
I am sort of at a loss to explain its performance. It will skim very well for two days and then the water level will drop in the skimmer and require adjustment. My sump has regulated water depth and I have a dedicated electrical line for this aquarium only.
After about 4 weeks I removed the unit for cleaning and found that the housing around the needle wheel had a 1.5" crack along its center seam. The warranty requires that the entire unit be sent back to Germany. I tried contacting NYOS to no avail. Their web site does not list parts for their products either. This also concerns me as replacement parts are always necessary and pumps rarely last more than two years.
Currently I would not recommend this skimmer. It looks beautiful but the performance is poor to fair.Hide

I purchased a Nyos Quantine 160 skimmer on 1/25/2016 and I have been having trouble with it. The skimmer is not working correctly after approximately 3 weeks of operation.
Symptom is not skimming and a ton of micro bubbles.
It is sitting in 7.5" inches of water running.
There is a break in period, and it has been installed for 21 days now. The bypass valve for water is fully adjusted to the closed position and the bubble valve is 98% closed just to get it about 3-4 inches from the collection cup.
My thoughts are the motor is bad or the venturi coupler felt very loose and could be possible losing suction.
Customer service from echo tech has been poor.
Do yourself a favor purchase something else and be very diligencent on your research.Hide
