Features

Unique Collection Cup Design

Impact resistant plastic design with molded handle and optional drain make for a versatile, highly durable collection cup.

Innovative Silencer Design

Versatile and highly effective air silencer design means a super quiet intake that can be placed anywhere along the drain spillway. Dual chambered for maximum noise reduction.

Additional Pump Option

The Secondary Pump Kit (sold separately) allows you to finely adjust the amount of water you want to treat. The Pump recirculates water and air on itself, reducing consumption and optimizing skimming. This increases skimming efficiency by up to 30%.

Complete Micro Bubble Removal

The addition of a sponge and sock to the drain spillway prevents micro bubbles that may irritate corals from being released into the aquarium.

External Pump

Allows for higher column volume with more contact time and surface area. Allows for easy maintenance of the pump at anytime.

High Drain Point/Height Based Drain Regulation

A high drain point means no resistance and a more stable level in the skimmer vs bottom draining designs. Adjust the height of the drain tube and drain spillway by turning the threaded rod to adjust the level of the water and foam in the reaction column.

Versatile Sump Placement

division™ skimmers can be configured in a variety of ways to best fit your setup. Turn the collection cup and the spillway to the front, back, or side. Additionally, the silencer can be positioned in multiple places along the spillway. Even the height of the spillway can be incrementally changed to achieve the best performance.

But wait...there's more

Cylindrical Column

Provides a longer path with more contact time for bubbles than with conical designs. This results in higher skimate volume and quality

Anti-Vibration O-rings and Rubber Feet

Additional sound-dampening features assist in silent skimmer operation

50/50 Air to Water Balance

Optimal efficiency in skimmer input

Patent Pending Compact Base Design

Designed with a compact footprint in mind to fit in virtually any sump

Operation is Independent of Water Level in Sump

Variations in sump water level don't impact the function of the skimmer

3 year warranty

division™ skimmers are guaranteed against defects of materials and workmanship for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase, except for the pump’s impeller. This can be extended to 5 years by registering your skimmer. The warranty covers the replacement of the defective parts.

FAQ

A: Adjust the height of the Drain Tube and Drain Spillway by turning the threaded rod clockwise to raise the level and counterclockwise to lower the level of the water and foam in the Reaction Column. The level should be adjusted so that the top of the foam is at the highest level without overflowing. While this level will be very stable, it is important to wait a few moments to allow for stabilization of the system as a whole.

A: Fine adjustments can be made by turning the Air Intake Screw on the Air Silencer however this would should only be done when there is simply too much foam created and the foam cannot be controlled by lowering the water level by adjusting the Drain Tube and Drain Spillway from the aquarium.

A: The minimum distance is approximately 1 inch or 2.5 cm.

A: Salt creep on the air intake can reduce the flow of air into the body of the skimmer. Check the tubing connection from the silencer to the venturi. If there is salt blocking the airway, run some warm water through the tube. If the buildup is severe, the salt can be removed manually with a toothpick.

A: Is the O-ring visible at the connection point between the pump and the tower? If so, water will bypass the pump and the pump will effectively run dry. To fix this, tighten the connection point on the pump itself before connecting the pump to the tower so the o-ring is no longer visible.

A: Yes. The plastic ring can be popped out and the sock can be removed or shortened.

A: The Filter Sock and Sponge should be cleaned by gently rubbing and rinsing every 1-2 weeks. Though replacement needs will vary, the Filter Sock and Sponge should be replaced every couple of months.

A: The Secondary Pump Kit includes a Venturi Extension, O-ring, Connecting Hose, Venturi O-ring x 2, Hose Clip x 2. (Pump is not included).
