This is is the Way a Skimmer Should be
Designed!
If you could build your own the perfect protein skimmer, where
would you start? You might begin by looking at all of the other skimmers on the
market to see what works, what doesn’t, and why. Once you zeroed in on what
works, the next logical question you’d ask yourself is “How can I make this
even better?” But you wouldn’t stop there. Because this is your dream protein
skimmer—your “forever” skimmer. Your chance to have it all! So you would
incorporate an entire wishlist of refinements and conveniences to make the
skimmer as quiet, efficient, and as easy-to-maintain as possible. Congratulations!
You just built the Maxspect Aeraqua Duo. The DC controllable pump is powered by
the Maxspect Turbine Duo 9K, a that offers high performance and near-silent
operation.
Despite its remarkably small 10.2” x 8.3” footprint, the
Aeraqua Duo AD600 is rated for saltwater and marine reef aquariums from small
load medium sized 60 gallon aquariums all the way up to larger 300 gallon aquariums
with huge bio-loads because of the ability to control the skimmer via the DC
pump. The easy-to-use external pump controller is included but you can also
control the pump wirelessly using the free Syna-G app for Android and IOS by
adding a Maxspect IV6 controller (sold separately).
The Unique Design is What This
Amazing Skimmer is All About!
The Top of the
Skimmer
There is a float switch built into the lid so when the
collection cup is full, the skimmer will automatically shut-off so waste
doesn’t overflow into your sump and back into your system. Once the float
switch returns to its normal position, the pump will resume operation after a
few seconds. If you’re using the Syna-G app, you will be alerted on your mobile
device if the float switch is triggered.
The large, heavy-duty collection cup has a handle to make
disposing of skimmate quick and easy.
There are quick-release locking sliders that make removing
the skimmer cup easy and so you can lock it right back into place.
A drain fitting is included so you can connect the skimmer to a waste collector or a separate reservoir for skimmate.
The Body of the Skimmer
The gate valve is controlled by an adjustable dial so you
can easily change the water level for precise control of the foam inside the
skimmer.
The innovative pipeless design saves precious real estate
inside your sump.
There are hash mark measurements on the side of the skimmer
in both centimeters and inches which are useful since different sumps have
different depths. There is also a white indicator to show you where the “sweet
spot” is.
The air hoses are integrated into the body of the skimmer for a seamless look and feel.
The Base of the
Skimmer
The skimmer can be easily disassembled for cleaning and
maintenance. Loosen the thumbscrews in each corner and the entire skimmer body
can be removed.
The DC controllable Maxspect Turbine Duo 9K pump has a
centrally mounted motor spindle that drives the impellers on each side.
The patented dual needle wheel design has a spinning needle
wheel and a stationary one. This combination produces much finer, more
concentrated bubbles for more efficient waste removal.
The dual intakes can be configured so the Aeraqua Duo can
function as a recirculation skimmer to really strip your water of organics. So
rather than having both intakes draw in water from the sump, you can have one
side draw water from the sump while the other side recirculates water within
the skimmer.
The ingeniously designed air silencer has been integrated
into the bottom panel of the skimmer where the sound is further insulated by
the water around it.
A special integrated bubble trap prevents annoying
micro-bubbles from escaping into your sump.
The bowl-shaped bubble diffuser reduces turbulence to direct
air upward instead of outward so bubbles and dissolved organics rise easily
through the body up into the collection cup.
The base is molded to hold the pump in place so you can
slide it in and out for maintenance.
COMPLETE CONTROL OF
YOUR SKIMMER
The controller included with the Aeraqua Duo can be used to
perform a variety of functions. You can put the skimmer into feed mode,
schedule a 24-hour program for when you want the skimmer to run (and when you
don’t), and you can set a start delay among a variety of other features. By
adding Maxspect’s Integrated Controller 6 (IV6) to the mix, you can control the
skimmer wirelessly from the Syna-G app using your Android or Apple (iOS)
device. You will also be alerted on your mobile device if the float switch is
triggered in the collection cup.
