The Red Sea Reefer Skimmer line features high-performance, in-sump protein skimmers designed strictly around Red Sea’s demanding REEF-SPEC engineering standards. These units focus on maximizing air-to-water contact time while remaining quiet and easy to maintain within a cabinet setup.
The range is available in both traditional AC models (utilizing robust Sicce PSK pumps) and advanced Smart DC models (which feature a self-leveling sensor system that monitors foam wetness to automatically throttle the pump intensity, preventing messy cup overflows).

Key Structural & Operational Features
-
3-Way Orientation Setup: The modular bracket configuration allows you to assemble the pump inlet and the precision geared regulation valve facing the left, right, or back. This layout flexibility allows you to position the skimmer around existing sump baffles or return lines.
-
FoamView Inspection Window: The front of the collection cup features an unpainted, clear tracking window cut right into the colored plastic. This lets you inspect the foam head density and height instantly from outside the cabinet without lifting the lid.
-
Manual Integrated Neck Cleaner: The collection cup lid houses a built-in rotatable manual squeegee. Giving the top handle a twist sweeps dried organic sludge off the internal neck walls, maintaining optimal bubble accumulation between major cleaning tear-downs.
-
Extended Valved Waste Hose: Every unit ships with a 1-meter-long clear flexible drainage line connected to the base of the collection cup. A heavy-duty mechanical manual tap on the end lets you empty accumulated liquid waste safely into an external container without spilling.
