The new Skimz Piramid protein skimmer is slim and powerful. With space saving design, it is great for people who have small sumps, but in need of a powerful protein skimmer. The design of the new Skimz Piramid skimmer has slimmed down the width by up to 36%.
Monzter Series (width) Vs Piramid Series (width) Percentage
SN123 – 163mm SP153 – 110mm 32%
SN143 – 188mm SP783 – 120mm 36%
SM163 – 188mm SP203 – 150mm 20%
SM203 – 234mm SP253 – 180mm 23%
SM253 – 290mm SP283 – 200mm 31%
The new R14 TinyAir™ bubble plate designs with the ratio 1:4 coarse-to-fine holes which further reduces the bubble sizes to get a finer sized bubble.
Bubble size is important as the smaller the bubble, the greater will be the surface area for attraction of the organic waste. One bubble that is 1mm diameter has a surface area of 3.14 mm2, whereas half the bubble size with a diameter of 0.5mm for the same volume of air is now 6.28 mm2, or double the surface area. Smaller bubbles have an added advantage, they rise slowly in the reactor chamber giving them more time to react.
Technical features:
- Pyramid shape
- R14 TinyAir™ bubble plate
- Footprint reduced by up to 31%
- Semi-pipeless design
- Micro-Adjustable valve
- DC pinwheel pump with six preset RPMs and food shutoff timer
