Vertex Aquaristik IN-280 Protein Skimmer

To Cone or Not to Cone? That is the Question....  Nah.

The Scoop from Nemo Marine Systems:

There is no question that the Vertex Alpha Cone Skimmers are indeed amazingly well-engineered, very efficient and truly silent but also carry the Bubble King Price Tag. The IN Serie of skimmers from Vertex are also very well made, not as well-engineered and not as quiet as the Alpha Cone but it's also far less expensive. We're frankly not so sure all that extra money to add a conical shape to the skimmer is really all that beneficial. Overall, we give the Vertex IN skimmers thumb's UP!

Superior Performance

Powerful motor pumps drive precision Needle Wheel Rotors to introduce large amounts of air and water into the skimmer body. This is done without compromising continuous delivery and velocity due to the turbulence reducing bubble plate chamber. The result is a consistent foam head and nutrient extraction.

Silent

Vertex™ IN-Series Skimmers represent the Ultimate solution to noise reduction. Rotors engineered with the incredible strength of Rare Earth Phosphor Magnets and the frictionless ride of ceramic shafts, polished to an exceptionally high gloss, ensure that the entire impeller assembly spins with amazingly nominal resistance and vibration.

Easy

Removal of the collection cup has never been as effortless. Messy union locks and twist caps used by other competing products have been replaced by a Slip-Lock seal; minimalism simplifying your routine.
