Deltec 1500i Internal Protein Skimmer

Deltec 1500i Internal Protein Skimmer

The Deltec 1500i Internal Protein Skimmer, available at Reef Supplies Canada, is the pinnacle of Deltec’s German engineering — combining precision, power, and quiet efficiency for reef aquariums up to 1500 litres.

Built on over 25 years of innovation, the Deltec 1500i continues the brand’s legacy of high-performance, hand-built skimmers. Designed for sump installation, it features an emergency overflow system that automatically shuts off air intake if water levels rise, preventing cup overflow. Its ergonomic cylinder body and hollow footplate design optimize air-water contact for maximum waste removal while reducing turbulence and microbubbles.

Powered by a 24V DCC 3 controllable pump with a 10-stage controller, the Deltec 1500i adapts easily to both lightly and heavily stocked reef tanks. Maintenance is effortless with toolless disassembly, while whisper-quiet operation keeps your setup peaceful. Backed by Reef Supplies Canada, it’s an exceptional skimmer for serious marine hobbyists.
