One of the best-selling protein skimmers in the world, AquaC Remora Series Protein Skimmers is sleek, reliable and nearly maintenance free thanks to the clog-resistant AquaC spray injector!

The heart of AquaC Remora Series Protein Skimmers is a patented spray injection system.

Efficient hang-on skimmer simply hangs on the back of your aquarium, takes up little space and does not require the use of a sump.

Models are also available with Drain Fitting to streamline skimmate removal from skimmer collection cup. AquaC Remora Series Protein Skimmers include a feed pump to inject water into the skimmer.

Imagine that you're washing your car - you've got a bucket full of soapy water and a garden hose with a fast-moving stream of water. By placing your thumb over the end of the hose, you can disrupt the stream into a turbulent, high - pressure spray. Now direct that spray down into the bucket of water, and you'll generate a massive amount of bubbles and airflow. That is exactly how our spray injector works.

The skimmer body acts as a water reservoir - the bucket in the example above. Water is pumped through the spray injector, which has a special nozzle that fans the water out into a pressurized spray. This spray shoots into the skimmer body, generating millions of tiny air bubbles. As the bubbles are formed, more air is sucked into the skimmer as a result of the local drop in pressure and the process continues.

Most other forms of protein skimming rely on special valves or media to generate the air flow, and these parts quickly become clogged with salt, dust, or even mineral deposits. The AquaC spray injector is a relatively large nozzle that resists clogging, and when combined with a pump prefilter, can be considered maintenance free.
