How Does This Fit into Your System?

The WS-1 In-Sump Protein Skimmer is designed to be used in a sump or in the filtration compartment of an all-in-one aquarium.

Its innovative design is optimized for aquariums in the 30 to 65-gallon range.

How Can This Help My Aquarium?

A protein skimmer has many benefits to a saltwater aquarium including filtration and gas exchange. The use of a pump and a diffuser create air bubbles and foam that work to separate waste from the aquarium water and also help gas exchange which oxygenates the water. Removing waste from the aquarium is an excellent way to manage pollutants and help prevent odors, discoloration, and/or algae growth.

WS-1 skimmer

CJ on Oct 10th 2022

Got this to replace the skimmer that came with my max e-170 and my lord is the difference night and day. First, the amount of space in the rear sump this thing clears up for you is fantastic. Second, the skimmer is amazing and works so well right out of the box (I rinsed it first as there was some oily film from manufacturing). Thick skimmate, cleaner water, happy tank. Side note though, the skimmer is pretty short so you need tall but narrow (hard to find) stand or do what I did and glue magnets to it and suspend it in the water column at your desired height, up to you. Also shout out to intank, they were the only retailer who had this in stock and wasn't price gouging. Shipping was also super fast, I think my order was processed the next day. I'm now using Intank for my waterbox needs as well and will continue to do so for the future.
