Deltec MC500 Protein Skimmer
Ref: MC500
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 Juwel 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.
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.
Technical Data
- Can be used either in a sump or inside an Aquarium.
- Minimum water level when used within a sump is 125mm.
- The skimmer does not require any form of additional feed pump.
- 200 litres of air are produced at the venturi
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.

Deltec MCE300 Protein Skimmer
Ref: MCE300
The Deltec MCE300 Protein Skimmer is the most compact, quiet and affordable Deltec skimmer to date - suitable for an aquarium between 50 and 75 gallons (225-320 lts).
The high manufacturing tolerances and design of the special venturi and pinwheel produce 130 lts of air per hour giving it the same level of performance that you would expect from all Deltec skimmers and outperforming any other skimmer in its class.
The four most important things to consider for a high performance protein skimmer are:
- Air Volume
- Bubble Size
- Air Volume
- Air Volume
Foam Fractionation (Protein Skimming) is a process where protein wastes are removed from water by differential electrostatic attraction at an air /water interface. The more air and the smaller the bubbles in contact with the water, the higher the surface area for reaction and the higher the efficiency of the skimmer.
The patented Deltec pinwheel rips the air into the finest bubbles for maximum effect.
Contact time is important but only if there is insufficient air for immediate reaction.
Comparative testing shows that most manufacturers claim a much higher suitable tank size for their skimmers with half the air volume or less.
At Deltec we don't compromise on water quality
Choose your next skimmer on £ / true performance and you will find that a Deltec skimmer will work out to be the most cost effective of the lot.
Technical Data
- Can be hung on the outside of the aquarium or sump.

Deltec MCE600 Protein Skimmer
Ref: MCE600
The Deltec MCE600 Protein Skimmer is the ultimate hang on skimmer and since its introduction at the end of 2003 has taken the market by storm.
Its new design gives it the flexibility to hang on almost any brand of aquarium or for it to be used inside or hanging on the outside of a sump.
There is a chamber built into the skimmer where media such as RowaPhos or carbon can be used in a sock or bag and there is even an optional media box available.
The performance is as you would expect from any Deltec skimmer, drawing in 300lts of air per hour for maximum waste removal.
The Deltec philosophy is that for every 1000 Ltrs of water in the aquarium that you require 400 - 500 Ltrs of air per hour to achieve efficient skimming.
This makes the MCE600 skimmer suitable for 700 Ltrs (155 gallons) for a normally stocked reef aquarium or 450 Ltrs (100 gallons) for a heavily stocked fish only system.
From testing that we have carried out we have found that Deltec skimmers produce at least 2 - 4 times the air volume used on most competitors skimmers which are claimed to be suitable for comparable water volumes.
Technical Data
- Can be hung on the outside of the aquarium or sump.
- Draws its own water from the aquarium via the internal needlewheel pump.
- 300 litres of air/hr are produced at the venturi.
Dimensions:
- L 260mm W 180mm H 500mm (normal position).
- H 570mm (allowing for removal of the cup).
- Height above lip of aquarium - normal position 230mm.
- Width of body only external to tank 85mm.
- Pipes extend by 95mm from skimmer body.

Deltec APF600 Protein Skimmer
Ref: APF600
Deltec APF600 Protein Skimmer is the most popular of the smaller AP skimmers as for a little more money you get a lot more performance. Suitable for aquariums up to 1000lts (222 UK gallons).
This is and always was the 'Daddy' of the 525/600 size skimmers and can not be recommended high enough for aquariums around the 750-1000 lt range.
My first Deltec skimmer was an APF and can state that it's performance is awesome with a higher air and water throughput volume than the standard 600 model and a wider riser tube/cup to cope with the extra waste produced.
When a skimmer is running it will produce a head of foam which is determined by the amount of air and the bubble size. A simple general way of comparing the relative performance of a skimmer without even running it is to look at the neck diameter where it enters the cup. The larger this is, the greater the performance, as it takes a greater head of foam to be able to climb up a larger diameter tube.
The riser tube diameter of the APF600 is 90mm. Compare that with your existing skimmer and you will understand what we are talking about. Tapered tubes simply reduce the opening to cope with a smaller volume of foam.
The APF600 skimmers are fitted with an Aquabee pump and Deltec needle wheel impellor for unbeatable performance. The 230V version of the APF600 is fitted with 1 pump, drawing in 450lts of air per hour making it suitable for aquariums up to 1000 lts (222 UK gallons)

Deltec AP701 Protein Skimmer
For a long time there had been a space in the range of Deltec skimmers for someone who wanted AP850 Performance but wanted to fit the unit within a standard cabinet.
Now there is a solution the new AP701.
The AP701 produces a maximum level of air at 750 lts per hour but will be more efficient in most aquariums turned down to 600-650 lts using the tap. This is due to turbulence in the neck of the skimmer drawing foam back into the body.
On a low nutrient SPS tank however it should be possible to use all of the air as the level of foam will normally be less.
The general performance and suitability criteria of this model should be classed as the same as the AP851

Deltec Mark II Cleaning Head for AP703/1003/1004
Ref: APCLHEAD
Deltec Mark II Cleaning Head for AP703/1003/1004 is a Self-Cleaning Head for Deltec Skimmers
Deltec make a series of self cleaning heads for their larger AP skimmers and can increase the efficiency of your skimmer by up to 20%
On all skimmers if you watch them over a number of days you will see the amount of waste collected fall off with time. This is because as the foam rises it deposits some of the fat and proteins that it has collected on the side of the riser tube. This deposit makes it harder for the foam to climb ans so the amount of waset in the cup decreases.
The idea behind the cleaning head is that every 1-2 hours, brushes on the head clean the inside of the riser tube and keep it spotlessly clean. No additional water is used for this as the wetness of the foam is sufficient if done on such a frequent time scale
Waste Removal
The other side of the operation is keeping the skimmer cup clean so that the smell that goes along with the waste is removed too. This is achieved using an auto syphon and a fresh water supply controlled via a solenoid.
Once a day, depending on the rate that the waste is collected, the solenoid switches on which introduces a jet of freshwater into the cup. The cup fills up and when it reaches the top of the crook on the auto syphon pipe it runs away to drain until the cup is empty and the syphon breaks.

Deltec TS1250 Turbo Skimmer (Sump Only)
This unique Deltec design is more than just a skimmer.
It contains a chamber for placing of Rowaphos and carbon, which slides in and out of the skimmer and is part of the skimmers construction.
High contact time is achieved by spinning the aerated water as it leaves the pump head.
By placing it directly in the sump it is very efficient, with low energy use as it requires no extra pipe work or pumps to operate or to drive water through it.
The unit is fitted with the same high efficiency pinwheel system as the rest of the Deltec skimmer range.
Simply place in the sump for plug and play set up on this model of skimmer.
