The Deltec MCE600 Compact External Hang-on Protein Skimmer is a game-changer in the world of aquarium maintenance. Designed for aquariums up to 600 liters, this protein skimmer is a must-have for any serious hobbyist.
With its sleek and compact design, the MCE600 can be effortlessly attached to almost any brand of aquarium. Whether you prefer to hang it on the outside or use it inside a sump, this protein skimmer offers ultimate flexibility.
But what really sets the MCE600 apart is its performance. Equipped with a full-size pinwheel, this skimmer generates an impressive 400 liters of air per hour. This powerful air flow ensures maximum waste removal, keeping your aquarium clean and your fish healthy.
Here are some key features and benefits of the Deltec MCE600:
- Built-in chamber for media: The MCE600 includes a special chamber where you can use media such as RowaPhos or carbon in a sock or bag. With the optional media box, you have even more control over water quality.
- Efficient skimming: The Deltec philosophy is simple - for every 1000 liters of water in your aquarium, you need 400-500 liters of air per hour for effective skimming. The MCE600 is designed to meet these requirements, making it perfect for normally stocked reef aquariums up to 600 liters or heavily stocked fish-only systems up to 500 liters.
Rest assured, the MCE600 is built to last. It draws its own water from the aquarium through the internal needlewheel pump, ensuring consistent performance. With a power consumption of only 12 watts, this skimmer is energy-efficient too.
In terms of dimensions, the MCE600 measures L 260mm x W 180mm x H 500mm in its normal position. If you need to remove the cup, the height increases to 570mm. The skimmer sits at a height of 230mm above the lip of the aquarium, while the body extends 85mm external to the tank.
Don't settle for subpar skimmers that claim to match this level of performance. In our tests, Deltec protein skimmers have consistently outperformed the competition, producing at least 2-4 times more air volume for comparable water volumes.
