Berlin Air Lift 60 - up to 60 Gallons
Protein skimming is the physical process of removing suspended or dissolved organic waste and invisible particles from aquarium water. This material consists of protein fragments and other waste, produced by the living organisms in the marine aquarium. Since these are potentially harmful to the aquarium inhabitants, rapid removal is essential. Protein Skimming also reduces the amount of floating bacteria, limits nitrate and phosphate build up, and prevents the development of slime algae. The advantage of Protein Skimming is the waste material is continuously removed, separating it from the water flow. It is then collected into a foam cup, where it is no longer in contact with the aquarium water. When air is administered to the Berlin Air-Lift 60, Internal Protein Skimmer, a continuous stream of fine air bubbles will rise into the inner tube. The air bubbles also draw aquarium water into the skimmer (air-lift effect). The inner tube opens into the outer tube holding the foam cup. In the first pass of the air bubbles, from the air-stone up through the inner tube, foam will be formed and pushed into the foam cup. The water will flow down the outer tube, drawing with it a significant amount of air bubbles. The outer tube ends at the air return skirt, forcing the air upwards, against the current, in the direction of the foam cup. The water without air will flow back to the aquarium via the outer tube and air return skirt. The Berlin Air-Lift 60, Internal Protein Skimmer is suitable for aquariums up to 60 gallons. The Berlin Air-Lift 60 features a limewood air-stone, separate water inlet and water outlet. triple air pass, and a compact design that can be installed in an aquarium, filter sump or filter compartment. The Air-Lift 60 can be disassembled completely for easy cleaning. The air pump is not supplied.
