Removes dissolved organics and waste products with extreme efficiency
Greatly benefits water quality and clarity
Increases oxygen levels and stabilizes pH
Reduces Nitrate, Phosphate and Nitrite levels
Powered by a patent pending paddle-mixing injection system, the Fission Skimmer violently mixes air with water - creating a column of millions of tiny microbubbles. These tiny microbubbles provide an enormous surface area for the adsorption of organic compounds and waste products. The impellers unique paddle plates remain rigid during rotation, pushing more water and increasing contact time while still hacking those bubbles into a dense foam froth. Paddle plate impellers create up to 3 times the amount of microbubbles and contact time compared to other needle-wheel type skimmers.
Two unique installation methods allow for either hang-on or in-sump techniques. Mounting bracket fits virtually any tank with a lip of 1.5" or less and can be secured with integrated nylon screws. Water tight pump unions provide easy removal for cleaning and maintenance, and the recirculating pump can be used in our out of the water. Simply connect the skimmer inlet to a powerhead or existing plumbing line, adjust the water flow to the correct flowrate and skim-away.
Fission skimmers are built for performance with unprecedented precision to detail. Cell-cast acrylic body and clean molded connection parts make it a unit that will provide years of outstanding performance. The collection cup is easy-to-remove and has a rubber grommet connection assembly that ensures a snug fit. A fully adjustable flow valve completely allows you to control the water height within the skimmer body - maximizing foam collection. The drain port in the collection cup makes it easy to collect the foam and drain it away from your system. The microbubble trap captures any tiny errant bubbles. To keep family members happy, the paddle mixing-injection system includes an air silencer to keep things quiet and peaceful.• whats included - Fission Recirculating skimmers include a collection cup with drain port, UL listed recirculating pump (660 gph), paddle-wheel injection system with ceramic shaft and paddle impeller, air inlet silencer, molded microbubble reducing trap and instructions.
