Deltec have been one of the leading manufacturers in specialist marine aquarium equipment for over 25 years, and are well known for their high quality products. Deltec continue their long history of German hand built high efficiency with their range of internal protein skimmers. They have used their experience to continuously innovate skimmer technology to push the boundaries of performance and efficiency. 

A protein skimmer is a very useful product for the fish heavy marine aquarium. It is a device that brings aquarium water into contact with a large concentration of air bubbles. This process removes organic pollutants before being broken down by bacteria, it has the effect of lowering waste levels. By effectively short-circuiting the normal oxidisation of waste it slows the accumulation of nitrates and phosphates which can have many benefits, such as less frequent water changes.

These internal sump mounted skimmers are neat and compact with many handy features, including toolless disassembly which makes them very easy to use and maintain. They also include a unique safety feature that automatically shuts off the air input if the water level inside the simmer rises, this prevents any accidental flooding of the skimmer cup. 

The unique footplate design gives a better contact time between the air and water without exagerrating the height of the skimmer. It also strongly reduces turbulence and vibrations of the body itself and prevents air escaping into the aquarium.

The Deltec skimmers are operated with a Deltec DCC pump that can be electronically adjusted with a seven stage controller which is included. This allows the water flow and air input to be optimised to the specific requirements of the aquarium. The pump can be increased and decreased depending on the aquarium stocking density to account for the increased waste production.
