CATAQUA protein skimmer is pretty efficient and SUPER DRY. Aquarium hobbyists, specialist retailers, large show aquaria, research and development, as well as fish farms and aquaculture systems – many users and applications benefit from clear water.
CATAQUA protein skimmers are in use for a wide range of animals – including small, delicate invertebrates (e. g. corals);
shellfish (e. g. crabs); chondrichthyes (e. g. sharks and rays); osteichthyes (e. g. wrasses and seahorses); penguins, as well as mammals (e. g. seals and polar bears).
Marine aquaculture for food fish, and fish farms are other areas of application for which CATAQUA protein skimmers are ideal.
In fish hatcheries, CATAQUA protein skimmers can provide the desired water quality for eggs, larvae and fingerlings.
The Protein skimmer could be integrated into a RAS system and to be the soul part to get most of the tiny dirty odds & organisms to make the bio-filter more efficient.
Gas Balance
CATAQUA protein skimmers effectively enhance the cycle of gases in the water. Animals breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
This reduces the water's pH. In the skimmer, carbon dioxide is largely blown out, and oxygen is re introduced. The water from the skimmer's outlet is constantly slightly oversaturated with oxygen.
Interaction with Other Filter Elements
CATAQUA protein skimmers
· substantially enhance the efficacy of biofilters;
· remove metabolic products from biofilters;
· are ideally suited for the application of ozone;
· lengthen the intervals between backwash procedures for sand filters;
· are optimal for safely recycling outlet water from anaerobic biology (denitrification);
· increase the amount of light incidence throughout the entire spectrum.
Highest Efficiency
CATAQUA protein skimmers operate at the highest level of efficiency.
