Deltec 3000i Internal Protein Skimmer

Deltec 3000i Internal Protein Skimmer

The Deltec 3000i Internal Protein Skimmer, available at Reef Supplies Canada, is a high-capacity German-built skimmer designed for large reef aquariums from 2000 to 3000 litres. Combining over 25 years of Deltec innovation, it delivers unmatched efficiency, quiet operation, and easy maintenance.

This sump-mounted skimmer features an advanced emergency overflow system that automatically shuts off air intake if water levels rise, preventing cup flooding. Its ergonomic cylinder body and hollow footplate design maximize air-water contact, reduce microbubbles, and minimize turbulence for optimal water clarity.

Equipped with a 24V DCC 5 controllable pump with a 10-stage controller, the Deltec 3000i adapts to both lightly and heavily stocked aquariums. Toolless disassembly allows quick maintenance, and an optional automatic cup cleaning system makes upkeep effortless. Supported by Reef Supplies Canada, it’s ideal for serious reef hobbyists.
