The Icecap K1-50 is a very compact skimmer for smaller aquariums 40-80 gallons. Made of PVC and high quality acrylic, the K1-50 was designed with a small footprint to accommodate the needs of smaller aquariums and those needing minimal space.
The pipeless design saves on space with trouble free outflow and quiet operation. The pipeless design also allows outgoing water to exit on the side and bottom of the skimmer, offering slash-free circulation in the sump.
- Recommended sump water height 6-9 inches.

Protein Skimmers are necessary for food and waste removal, removing these particles before they are able to break down and
cause nitrate and ammonia to rise. This is especially important for
coral reef systems as corals generally demand a low nitrate level.
