This product is no longer manufactured. Spare parts can still be ordered at any time. The current replacement type is the ACF2000V-130 made of PMMA (acrylic glass).
Skimmer ACF2000V-130 with Venturi (Injector), for max. 2000 litres sea water tanks, without pump, suitable for ozone operation.
These skimmers of the high-end class with the most effective Suspended Flow Principle are characterized by the effect, that the gas bubbles stay a long time in abeyance. With this long contact time between gas bubble and water a high exchange is realised. Carbon dioxid is driven out and oxygen is inserted. The adsorption of proteins and other substances is also a time-dependent factor, that is favored by long contact times.
You may operate this skimmer externally or inside a filter sump.
Advantages compared to other skimmers:
- extreme long contact time; that means:
- high enrichment of oxygen and ozone
- forming of the carbon dioxid - hydrogen carbonate - carbonate - buffer system at low alkalinity
- more even pH value
- short total height
- lowers the numbers of free bacteria to about 20%
- reduces the ozone demand by 70%
- low ammonia / ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate concentrations
- and of course
Necessary Accessories:
- Feed water pump or bypass from a main pump
- ozone generator for ozone operation
- degasing stage for extrem sensitive animals (e.g. jellyfish or larvae), if the water flows directly back into the aquarium
