IceCap K1-50 Protein Skimmer

The IceCap K1-50 Protein Skimmer is built for in-sump installation on tanks up to 80 gallons, with the distinctive "Beer Bottle" curved body that stabilizes air and water mix as it rises through the reaction chamber. A bubble dispersing chamber lower in the body adds extra contact time for more stable foam. Bioload capacity: 40 gallons (heavy), 60 gallons (medium), 80 gallons (light) Pump: DCAIR-700 DC pinwheel pump, 6 watts, ~200 LPH air draw, ~70 GPH water draw Dimensions: 3in body, 4.75in x 3.5in footprint, 1.5in neck, 19in total height Cup drain: 6mm ID / 9mm OD Includes: optional hanging bracket Install: in-sump only The pipeless output is worth knowing about — water exits below the surface on the side of the skimmer rather than through a wedge pipe, which cuts down on both splash and the added noise a wedge design tends to introduce. Compatible replacement parts: DCAIR-700 pump kits for the K1-50.
