Maintain crystal-clear water and exceptional filtration performance with the TMC Reef Skim 2.0 DC Protein Skimmer range – a collection of high-performance, energy-efficient skimmers designed for modern marine and reef aquariums.
Combining advanced DC pump technology with ultra-compact designs, the Reef Skim 2.0 range delivers powerful organic waste removal, quiet operation and outstanding efficiency for aquariums of all sizes, from nano reefs to larger high-bioload systems.
Product Overview
The TMC Reef Skim 2.0 range has been engineered to provide efficient and reliable protein skimming while maintaining a compact footprint ideal for modern sump systems. Powered by adjustable DC pumps, these skimmers effectively remove dissolved organic waste, proteins and toxins before they break down and negatively impact water quality.
Each model features a highly efficient cylindrical reaction chamber, precision CNC-engineered construction and a bubble diffusion plate to maximise contact time between air and water for enhanced skimming performance.
The innovative in-base water outlet design helps reduce noise and minimises microbubbles escaping back into the sump, creating quieter and more efficient day-to-day operation.

Why Use a Protein Skimmer?
Protein skimmers are an essential part of marine filtration, removing dissolved organic waste before it breaks down into nitrate and phosphate. This helps improve water clarity, increase oxygenation and create a healthier environment for fish and corals.
The Reef Skim 2.0 range is ideal for:
- Marine aquariums
- Reef aquariums
- SPS & LPS coral systems
- High-bioload fish systems
- Nano to large sumped aquariums
Quiet, Efficient & Easy to Use
The Reef Skim 2.0 range has been designed with both performance and usability in mind. Quiet operation, compact footprints and adjustable DC control make these skimmers easy to integrate into a wide variety of aquarium setups while maintaining excellent filtration performance.
Installation Tip
For best results, maintain a stable sump water depth and regularly clean the skimmer cup, air intake and pump components to ensure consistent foam production and maximum efficiency.
