1. Basics

During the protein skimming process organic pollutants in the aquarium water, i. e. protein

compounds formed by the excretions of animals, are attached to fine air bubbles as a mono-

molecular film. These air bubbles are pushed against the inflowing water in the reaction pipe so

that there is a long contact time. Enriched with organic substances, they rise to the top and form a

strong foam which is dehydrated in the reaction pipe and then passes into the collection cup.

Using this method, removal of organic pollutants from the aquarium water takes place whereas

during bacterial processes they are merely transformed and not removed.

3. Principle of operation

The aquarium water is pumped to the skimmer using a separate pump (not included) which should

have a capacity of approx. 2,000 - 4,000 litres/hour. The relative positions of the inlet and outlet

ports ensures the maximum contact time of the air bubbles in the counter-current.

The venturi pump draws the water from the skimmer and mixes it with air. Within the pump

housing the bubbles are cut into very fine pieces by the AB Aqua Medic needle wheel. The air/water

mixture is pumped back into the skimmer.

The treated water flows out of the bottom of the skimmer and is pumped through the two

transparent pipes positioned outside the skimmer back into the aquarium.
