TMC Reef Skim 2.0 1250 DC valkuaisainevaahdotin

TMC Reef Skim 2.0 1250 DC is a high-performance sump-mounted protein skimmer for demanding marine and reef aquariums. It removes dissolved organic compounds before they break down into nitrate and phosphate while supporting gas exchange and oxygenation.

The skimmer is suitable for aquarium systems from approximately 750 to 1,250 litres, depending on biological load. Heavily stocked, intensively fed, or SPS-dominated aquariums should be sized towards the lower end of the recommended range.

Adjustable Reef Pump SK DC

The compact Reef Pump SK DC provides electronically adjustable performance. Pump output can be matched to aquarium load, sump conditions, and the desired wet or dry skimming result.

Power consumption ranges from approximately 5 to 20 W. The pump operates at 24 V DC with a maximum current of approximately 0.83 A.

Electronic controller and feeding mode

The supplied controller provides precise speed adjustment without mechanically restricting the water flow.

A feeding mode temporarily pauses the skimmer, helping prevent coral food and aquarium supplements from being removed immediately. The pump returns to its normal operating setting after the feeding pause.

Bubble-diffusion plate

A high-performance diffusion plate distributes micro-fine bubbles evenly throughout the reaction chamber. This reduces turbulence, stabilizes the foam column, and increases air-to-water contact.

In-base water outlet

Processed water exits through the base of the skimmer rather than a protruding side outlet. This design increases air-to-water contact time, reduces operating noise, helps limit escaping microbubbles, and minimizes the required installation footprint.

Quiet operation

The integrated air-intake silencer reduces venturi noise. The adjustable DC pump, balanced bubble plate, and in-base outlet support quiet operation in living spaces and other noise-sensitive installations.

Ultra-compact footprint

The skimmer measures approximately 159 × 159 × 492 mm. Its compact footprint provides substantial skimming capacity while preserving sump space for other filtration equipment.

Easy maintenance

The pump can be removed quickly for cleaning. Regularly clean the pump intake, impeller, impeller chamber, venturi, air hose, silencer, bubble plate, reaction chamber, and collection-cup neck.

Installation and setup

1. Reserve at least 159 × 159 mm of sump floor space.
2. Leave sufficient clearance above the skimmer.
3. Position the unit on a stable and level base.
4. Confirm the recommended sump water depth in the instructions.
5. Use a stable seawater-resistant platform when required.
6. Install the pump, diffusion plate, and collection cup.
7. Connect the air hose and silencer.
8. Position the controller and power supply in a dry location.
9. Create a drip loop in the power cable.
10. Start the pump at a moderate setting.
11. Allow the skimmer to run in before final adjustment.
12. Increase pump output gradually according to aquarium load.
13. Set the internal foam level for wet or dry skimming.
14. Monitor the collection cup closely during initial operation.
15. Clean the cup, air intake, and pump regularly.
16. Disconnect the equipment before maintenance.
