Red Sea Protein Skimmers | Saltwater Aquarium Filters

The 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.
Breakdown of the Red Sea C-Skim 1200
Inlet: The organics-laden aquarium water is injected into an air pocket above the conical top of the skim chamber which spreads the incoming water flow evenly around the periphery of the skim chamber walls, preventing turbulent flows of non-aerated water that can destabilize the foam production.

C-Skim 1200 Performance Chart

C-Skim Rating
Aeration: The aspiration pump with pin wheel impeller re-circulates the water in the chamber whilst constantly injecting 120 gph of micro air bubbles into the water.
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.
Integrated Skimmer Neck Washing System: The patent pending integrated neck washing system developed specifically for the Red Sea 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.
Ergonomic Design: The ergonomic, compact, rectangular design of the Red Sea C-Skim with the complete user interface on one side of the unit makes the Red Sea C-Skim ideal for use in sump or stand alone installation on any conventional filtration system without compromising on skimming efficiency or performance. User interface features includes: Water inlet and outlet, Foam regulator and Foam View window, Air control valve with silencer, Skim/Wash control, Aspiration pump waste drain port, 90 degree outlet adaptor suitable for standard 1 and 1/2 inch rigid pipe.
Aquarium Volume Rating: The recommended aquarium volume ratings for the Red Sea C-Skim have been calculated according to the optimum turnover rate per aquarium type, as determined by laboratory tests conducted by Red Sea. Marine fish only (1 turnover per hour) 300 gallons. Soft Corals (1.5 turnover per hour) 175 gallons. Hard Corals (3-4 time turnover per hour) 100 gallons.
