Protein Skimmer

The concrete reef setup uses an AquaC EV-120 protein skimmer

When researching skimmers on the internet both AquaC and Euro Reef seemed to be well respected manufacturers. I eventually chose and purchased an AquaC EV-120 for the following reasons. I already owned a Mag 5 pump that is the correct size for the EV-120 skimmer and one was available used on Ebay for $200.00. This is 100.00 less than any I saw new. And More than 150.00 dollars less than any Euro reef used that I had seen.

EV - 120

Spray Injection Protein Skimmer

The EV-120 replaces our EV-90, which earned the reputation as one of the most compact performance skimmers on the market. Only 18" tall, the new 120 continues this tradition of super foam fractionation in a compact package. This skimmer should easily fit in your sump and with its raised gate valve (10") you won't need to worry about inconsistent performance due to sump fluctuations. No other skimmer on the market can generate this much foam and performance from such a small pump.
