Precision Marine Systems Skimmers

Air Powered Series

Contrary to popular belief,  Air-Powered Skimmers are not less efficient than Venturi Skimmers.  When the air stones are replaced regularly,  a well-designed Air Powered Skimmer will out-perform most venturi skimmers.  However, the key is replacing the airstones.   A major difference the Air-Powered skimmer has over the Venturi skimmer is the ability to control water and air flow.   The water flow through the Venturi Skimmer is predicated by the performance of the venturi (i.e. the venturi may require 500 gph or more for it to perform).   In contrast,  the air and water flow is controlled by the size air pump,  and the amount of water fed to the Air-Powered  Skimmer.  Doesn't this make a lot of sense?  Once again, the key is changing the airstones.  After about the three weeks, they need to be replaced.

Hang-on models may be used on the back of the aquarium, or on the side of the reservoir. They also can stand alone in or out of the reservoir.  A good choice if you do not have a reservoir, but plan on getting in the future. The AP426 Dual Air Stone Protein Skimmer is Super-efficient when ample air is supplied and the air diffuser is serviced regularly.  FPT input and output allows for a professional plumbing installation should you desire.  Note that the air line DOES NOT run through the skimmer neck and foam tube. AP626  Quad Air Stone Protein Skimmer is Super-efficient when ample air is supplied and the air diffusers are serviced regularly.  FPT input and output allows for a professional plumbing installation should you desire.  Note that the air lines DO NOT run through the skimmer neck and foam tube.

Counter-Current Venturi  Series

The CV Series Protein Skimmers from Precision Marine Systems offer the benefits of both the counter-current protein skimmer and the venturi protein skimmer. A slower controlled flow of aquarium water throughout the reaction column, against the rising air bubbles maximizes water contact time, the attribute of the air-powered skimmer. An abundant quantity and consistent fine mist of air without the need for an air pump or airstones are the benefits of the venturi protein skimmer. Combining the attributes of these two designs allows the process of more water without compromising water contact time.

 Note the clear lines in and out, threaded connections, built-in SPEARS 3/4" ball valve, and keyhole flange at the cup.  Also note the skimmer neck is 1/4" cell cast acrylic. Unlike other designs on the market, the entire cup removes for cleaning.  YES, this skimmer will work with our waste collector that shuts this skimmer down should it over flow due to a mis-adjustment.

The CV426 can be used with water pumps as small as the RIO2500.  This makes this Counter-Current Venturi Skimmer extremely compact, and ultra-efficient.   If you are limited on space, the small footprint will fit in most reservoirs.  Don't compromise, get a CV Series Skimmer from Precision Marine Systems

The CV626 is our most popular Protein Skimmer. You will be amazed with the amount of air drawn into it's reaction chamber, and the length of time it remains inside when used with the correct water pump.  Don't compromise, get a CV Series Skimmer from Precision Marine Systems

Precision Marine Skimmer Accessories

The only place air or ozone can escape from Precision Marine Systems' skimmer is through the vented drain. This enables the skimmer to become sealed and pressurized when coupled to our waste collector. This means no overflowing skimmers due to a misadjustment, change in tank load, or the addition of tank additives that can cause any skimmer to over foam. The ability to remove foul odors and/or harmful ozone gas (when used with ozone) with the waste collector's built-in carbon chamber is a unique feature.
