Macro Aqua DC Cone Skimmers
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Guide
OVERVIEW
Protein skimmers create thousands of tiny bubbles to efficiently remove organic waste materials from
the saltwater aquarium water. The air bubbles attract and condense these organics into foam and lift it
to the collection cup for convenient removal.
These DC powered skimmers have adjustable motor speeds to help regulate the bubble production
and are designed to work with aquariums between 210 gallons and 660 gallons depending on the model.
The DC cone skimmers are designed to sit inside a sump and cannot be placed on a dry surface.
