AquaC EV-240 Protein Skimmer - This skimmer is only 6 months old. It is a super solid skimmer. Also has a John Guest fitting so calcium reactor effluent can flow directly into it so that excess CO2 will blow off instead of lowering the pH of the system. Mag-Drive 18 Pump - came with the AquaC-240. It drives the skimmer really well. This is also only 6 months old.

* Height: 26"

* Included Pump: Mag-Drive 18 (flowrate of 1800 GPH)

* Footprint: 6.75" x 10.75"

* Foam Tower: 6"OD

* Tank Size: 80-350 gallons

* JG Fitting: standard

* Bubble Size: .03–.05mm

* Water flow-thru rate: 550gph

* Volume of foam produced: 320cu.in.

Features:

* The addition of a precision ball valve for airflow control allows the aquarist to fine tune the skimmer`s output. Unlike most other high performance skimmers in this class, the EV is remarkably silent. The spray injection system does not generate the sucking noises typical of venturi and Beckett units.

* The John Guest inSpeedfitin fitting is a great feature you will only find on AquaC ozone-equipped skimmers. This fitting is standard on models EV-240 and above, and can be ordered on the EV-120/180 ($5.00 option). Aquarists may also connect their calcium reactor effluent line to the skimmer`s speedfit connection. The pH of a calcium reactor effluent typically falls between 6.5-6.9, and over time the addition of this low pH effluent can have a deleterious effect on the system`s pH level. By dosing your effluent directly into the skimmer, excess CO2 will be inblown offin into the atmosphere and the tank pH will remain unaffected.

* The improved inTwist-Lockin collection cup and cap makes for a secure, flanged connection without the need for set screws or other locking type unions. Simply twist to crack the seal (EPDM gaskets) and removal requires a scant ¼in clearance. The new EV Series skimmers can be operated with AquaC`s auto-waste container, which are available in 2.5 and 5 liter sizes.

* Increased contact time = more protein removal. The size of the mixing box has been increased on all models by approximately 40%. To accommodate the extra foam the skimmers now feature taller and wider reaction towers, as well.

* Use of a ball valve is recommended to control water flow.

Mag Drive 18 features:

* Watts: 145

* Pump Size (L x W x H): 6.4 x 4.5 x 4.6

* Outlet Size / Inlet Size: 3/4in MPT / 3/4in FPT
