Product Information
DISCONTINUED - AE Tech ETSS 800 XR Protein Skimmer
Rated for up to 400 gallon aquariums.
Footprint is 9 inch by 8 inch. Inlet is 1 inch PCV socket fitting. Outlet is 1 1/2 inch gate valve for precise skimmer adjustment. Recommended input flowrate is 900 gph.
Features new XR injection system. Dual full sized Patented Downdraft skimming towers. Provides a tremendous surface area in a small space for very effective air water mixing and greater pump efficiency. Think of it as two skimmers build into one body. One set and forget outlet gate valve is the only adjustment needed on the ETSS skimmer. Automatic air flow regulation, needs no adjustments. This is one great feature that is not apparent until a skimmer has been owned a while. All skimmers using airflow adjustments, beckett and spray injection types come to mind, are subject to a constantly changing air flow adjustment. They do not hold a setting due to salt creep buildup in their air intake. Extremely good gas exchange (high oxygen content in the tanks water) along with powerful but gentle skimming action that's plankton friendly. Good phosphate removal action due to the water shear factor obtained by the Downdraft Tower design, that can literally melt algae out of a tank.
