Guide Review - Aqua Medic Midiflotor Protein Skimmer
This well constructed in-tank installation skimmer is designed for saltwater aquariums and reef tanks up to 100 gallons in size. The double chambered reaction tube allows for more bubble to water contact time for better skimming. Being an air driven counter current unit, it requires an air pump and limewood air stone (1 included when purchased) for operation, as well as a constant water level in the tank to maximize efficiency. Additional limewood air stones need to be purchased, as they need to be changed regularly.
