Red Sea C-Skim 1200 represents an integration of revolutionary features, performance characteristics of high demand commercial foam fractionators and the footprint and affordability of a modernly designed hobby protein skimmer. The C-Skim provides a new level of protein skimming in terms of efficiency, performances and user friendliness.
The C-Skim features include a Peripheral Flow Closed Loop Skim Chamber providing improved water/air flow dynamics, an integrated Neck Washing system which increases long term skimming performances and the FoamView™ enabling easy adjustment of the skimming foam production.
Inlet: Aquarium water is injected above the conical top of the skim
chamber which spreads the incoming water flow around the periphery of the skim
chamber walls, preventing turbulent flows of water that can destabilize the foam
production.
Aeration: The aspiration pump with pin wheel impeller
re-circulates the water in the chamber while constantly injecting 450 liters
(120 gal) per hour of micro air bubbles into the water.
Foaming: The
conical top of the skimming chamber concentrates the air/water mixture, forcing
it up into the neck of the collection cup where it transforms into dry
organics-laden foam.
Outlet: The out-flowing water is collected
evenly from around the periphery of the bottom of the skim chamber where it is
almost bubble free.
Control: A skim regulator valve easily adjusts
the foaming for a wide range of water conditions providing optimal skimming
performance.
Research has shown that allowing organic sludge to accumulate in the skimmer
neck (which will occur if not cleaned regularly), will reduce the foam
production by 30-40%.
The patent pending integrated neck washing system
developed specifically for the C-Skim diverts the water from the skim chamber to
an annular spray ring around the top of the neck that sprays concentrated jets
of water onto the inside of the neck, washing all of the accumulated sludge back
into the reaction chamber. Returning the water flow back to the skim chamber
flushes the sludge into the collection cup for easy disposal.
The patent pending FoamView window built into the front of the collection cup
provides a clear view of the foaming action inside the skimmer neck and allows
for easy and accurate adjustment to achieve the desired consistency of the foam.
The ergonomic, compact, rectangular design of the C-Skim with the complete user
interface on one side of the unit makes the C-Skim ideal for use in sump or
stand alone installation on any conventional filtration system without
compromising on skimming efficiency or performance.
