Juwel Protein Skimmer 3.0

After at least a decade of waiting, Juwel has finally released its own protein skimmer, which is designed to make it easier for fishkeepers to upgrade their Juwel aquarium for marine and reef use.

Juwel aquariums have been probably the most widely used tanks in the UK for over a decade and many fishkeepers have previously had to modify the flaps on the hood  to accommodate a hang-on protein skimmer.

The new skimmer makes upgrading a Juwel for marine use very easy and does so without damaging the aquarium itself, as some other upgrades can do.

The Juwel Skimmer 3.0 is an internal unit with similar dimensions to the Juwel internal filter and is designed to sit in the opposite corner of the aquarium attached to the rear and side glass.

The Juwel Skimmer 3.0 uses a magnetic mount, rather than the usual suckers, allowing a secure fit that won't deteriorate with time, as suckers can.

The unit is powered by a 1500 lph powerhead water pump and includes a flow adjuster at the base and a surface skimmer at the top.

The protein skimmer collection cup sits above the tank via a new push-out porthole which is to be included in the rear top flap of all new larger Juwel models and replacement flaps with the porthole will be avaliable for exsisting customers.

The units come with a two-year guarantee.
