The current product is: ACF3000N-060 made of PMMA.

The water that is mixed with air bubbles (air wood, venturi/injector, needle wheel/dispergator) flows into the lowest point of the unit. At this point the pressure of the system is maximal: the gas interchange is consequently at this point the best. The water-air mixture is ascending in the centre tube. At the top the protein containing foam is forming. A part of the gas bubbles are flowing downwards inside the main tube. At the release cone the water velocity declines because of the larger diameter of the tube - the water is flowing out of the system. The gas bubbles are kept in the main tube and they are not able to flow deeper. They will adsorb more organic substances because they stay very long inside the skimmer. At random the bubbles reach the top and create the protein foam. The foam ascend the foam cone, will be drained and flows into the foam cup. With this system even very badly adsorbing proteins will get out of the water.

* The maximum aquarium volume is calculated for „normal" tanks with living rocks and some fishes. If you have more fish and/or you take much food, you have to choose the next size. The ozone input can vary depending on the number of fish. The needed size depends on many factors: e.g. the wished water quality, fish load, food input, temperature, the kept species, additional technique like bio-filter, UV, ozon. The exact needed size may vary from our recommendation. In complicated cases ask AquaCare please.
