Description: A protein skimmer is one of the most important pieces of filtration equipment in existence for marine aquariums, regardless of whether they are full-blown reef aquariums or simple fish tanks; indeed, a protein skimmer can in many cases be considered life-support equipment. The waste exported by a protein skimmer helps maintain water quality at a level at which the fish's and invertebrates can survive and thrive. Because the exhaust of the skimmer is protected by a baffle, few (if any) bubbles escape from the reaction chamber, meaning no bubbles make it back into the sump or main aquarium as a result. The actual exhaust assembly is height-adjustable, allowing the hobbyist to tweak the height of water in the reaction chamber and produce the darkest, driest, dirtiest foam possible depending on conditions within the sump; this equates to much greater efficiency and less water being wasted as skimmate (the material that empties into the foam collection cup). The overall performance of the Nautilus is easily on par with many more expensive skimmers on the market today.
But what about the actual construction of the unit Materials were chosen to be impact-resistant while maintaining a professional appearance and smooth, sleek features. The reaction chamber and tubes are composed of crystal-clear, high grade acrylic, which allows the hobbyist to see the density of the bubbles in the reaction chamber and adjust the height of water as needed. The molded pieces are composed of black ABS plastic, giving the unit style and performance features not possible with hand-cut plastic. Unlike many foam collection cups made of cheap, brittle polystyrene, the Nautilus TE utilizes clear ABS plastic, which is extremely durable! Say good-bye to replacement cups when you drop yours on the floor by accident; this one will stay in one piece!
Other features of the unit are replaceable input and exhaust tube assemblies; should one break on your unit, contact us and we can replace it for you (for the cost of the item plus shipping), rather than having to trash the entire skimmer or rig something that looks cheap or doesn't work properly. In addition, the Nautilus TE comes with everything you need except for a pump! Just purchase a pump that has a flow rating of 600-900 gph (we recommend the Mag Drive 700 and/or the Rio 2100), hook it up and plug it in and youre done! This unit is as close to plug-n-play as you can get!
