Guide Review - Aqua C Urchin Protein Skimmer
The new and improved AquaC Urchins are non-venturi skimmers that benefit from a powerful and patented Spray Injection System, are best suited for smaller reef tanks that have limited cabinet space, and can be placed directly on the sump bottom with no adjustment or raising necessary. With their super-slim design and small footprint, they are ideal for micro-sumps. The Remora and Remora Pro units are hang-on-tank versions of these skimmers.
