Red Starfish SD Protein Skimmers

DC needle-wheel skimmers for larger marine systems.

The Red Starfish SD series provides foam fractionation for marine water systems that require more capacity than a compact aquarium skimmer. Four models combine DC needle-wheel pumps with a reaction chamber, collection cup and adjustable water outlet. Select the model around the actual water volume, loading and installation space, rather than the tank volume alone.
