The purpose of a protein skimmer is to remove
DOC's (Dissolved Organic Compounds) from aquarium water, thus improving the quality of the
water. The Miniflotor is a small but powerful air-driven internal protein skimmer. Its principal feature is the double reaction cylinder system: within the inner cylinder air bubbles rise and carry large quantities of water upward. This water then falls into the outer cylinder and carries the air bubbles downward to the expansion cone, which stops the air bubbles. They therefore rise up, against the strong counter-current, and carry waste products to the foam cup. This procedure ensures a long contact time for the bubbles, making this an effective, but compact skimmer. |
