Deltec MCE 300 External Protein Skimmer
Up to now, if you had a tank of 50 - 70 gallons but still wanted the true performance of a Deltec hang on skimmer on your tank, you would be forced to buy the MCE 600 witch, depending on type of system and stocking level, is rated for tanks of 100 to 150 gallons.
A large section of hobby have aquariums within the 50 - 70 gallon range and require an appropriate skimmer for their volume of water as smaller skimmers are quieter and easier to physically fit onto a tank.
The MCE300 is definitely compact but still produces the same level of performance that you would expect from any Deltec skimmer.
The venturi and pinwheel together draw in approximately 130 lts or air per hour which makes it suitable, according to Deltec skimming standards, for an aquarium between 50 and 75 gallons.

The MCE 300 produces 130 litres of air which by using the well proven Deltec 'air to tank volume ratio' makes the MCE 300 suitable for tanks up to 300 lts normal stocking and 200 lts heavy stocking

Deltec MC500 Multi Compact Skimmer
Deltec MC500 Multi Compact Protein Skimmer
The Deltec MC500 Multi Compact Skimmer is the ideal model for those with little space in their tank or sump or for fitting inside a Jewel Aquarium without modifying the lights
When starting up in marine fish keeping many people opt for a budget low efficiency skimmer which gets thrown away after 6 months or when they upgrade the size of their systems. You should therefore bear in mind that this skimmer will not only be suitable for the 50 gallon aquarium that you are looking at now but can be reused in their subsequent systems for anything up to 120 gallons. This makes much more financial sense than spending up to 2 thirds of the Deltec price or more on the budget skimmer and then throwing it away when you move up to your next tank
Tank mounted Installation :
The MC500 fits tidily inside the aquarium against either the back or side wall and normally can be fitted using the bracket supplied, (either clear front face or black back face forwards). As long as the water level does not exceed the maximum shown on the body then the unit will operate.
The MC500 will not fit easily on the new Vision 450 and for this tank we recommend the MCE600 skimmer with the return flowing into the corner filter box.
The MC500 will not fit easily on the new Vision 450 and for this tank we recommend the MCE600 skimmer with the return flowing into the corner filter box.
Sump Mounted Installation :
The skimmer can be used in any sump as long as the water depth is greater than 125mm and does not exceed the max level shown on the body. An adjustable weir plate is provided which raises the water level to the correct height for any depth of water
Dimensions:
- L 210 W 90 H 530 (allowing for removal of the cup).
- The minimum sump water level is 125mm.
- The body of the unit sits 80mm out of the water plus the height of the collection cup.
Stocking:
- Normal Stocking 550 lts (120 UK gallons)
- Heavy Stocking 360 lts (80 UK gallons)
Deltec MCE600 External Protein Skimmer
At last a hang on skimmer that offers true skimming performance.
The new MCE600 skimmer draws in over 300 litres of air per hour, which will make it the most powerful hang on skimmer on the market place by far and suitable for tanks with normal stocking up to 700 litres (155 UK gallons).
In tests Deltec found that most commonly available so called Πhigh performance Skimmers manufactured by their competitors utilise only 40 - 80 lts of air per hour and are in no way suitable for the tank volumes that they recommend.
Any skimmer will remove waste from a tank when it is at dangerous levels - Deltec skimmers work at a completely different level.
When they put their skimmer onto the same tank as other skimmers the other skimmers stop working.
The waste from a skimmer should be dark and smelly. If your skimmer produces a watery green liquid it may be time for a change.

Sander Piccolo Protein Skimmer
Suitable for aquariums up to 100 litres (22 galls) Air operated, very basic design. A good beginners unit.
Sander Maxi-Skim Protein Skimmers
These air operated Skimmers are suitable for saltwater aquariums of up to 200 litres (44 galls) and the model required is dependent upon the depth of water in the aquarium. The longer the skimmer's contact tube, the more efficient the unit. The water enters the skimmer through the inflow holes into the reaction tube, and is led from the top to the bottom. A wooden air stone diffuses the air into very small air bubbles. While the air bubbles rise through the water they remove protein. The waste foam is produced above the water level and then rises through the foam tube into the collection cup. In this way, waste particles and toxic compounds are totally removed from the aquarium. By an air lift system the purified water is pumped back to the aquarium through the outflow tube.
