An air pump sits inside the housing, which is why the skimmer runs without a separate air stone. Skimming speed is set with an adjustable air flow valve, so you can turn the air down or up at the valve rather than at the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection cup lifts off the body for routine maintenance, and the whole skimmer hangs from clips that adjust to the tank rim.

Measure the space behind or beside the tank as well, because the unit is 10.2 cm long, 8 cm wide and 29.8 cm tall, and it hangs on the rim rather than sitting inside a sump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your aquarium is larger than 32 gallons, this skimmer is not the size the brand specifies for it. Check that the rim can take the hanging clips and that no air stone is needed in your setup, since the skimmer has its own air pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about the BioCube protein skimmer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many gallons is this skimmer rated for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand rates it for aquariums up to 32 gallons, which is 121 litres, including BioCubes and standard tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need an air stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The skimmer has an integrated air pump, and the brand states that no air stone is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the skimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 29.8 cm (11.7 in) tall, with a footprint of 10.2 x 8 cm (4 x 3.1 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the skimming rate adjusted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn adjustable air flow valve on the unit sets the skimming velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box contains the skimmer with its integrated air pump, the adjustable hanging clips, and the removable collection cup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coralife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44478675746879,"sku":null,"price":87.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/coralife-protein-skimmer.jpg?v=1794743228","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/coralife-biocube-protein-skimmer","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
