Deltec Protein Skimmer - AP 902

There are 2 philosophies regarding the operation of a successful marine aquarium.

One is to have an average performing skimmer to take out some of the protein but also have a large amount of biological filtration to deal with the resulting breakdown from the remainder. This type of system will normally lead to a trend for rising nitrate levels.

The second way and the preferred Deltec method is to install a highly efficient skimmer that removes the majority of waste before it breaks down thus requiring less biological filtration and resulting in a lower level of nitrate that is much easier to cope with by the reducing bacteria in the system.

Deltec Protein Skimmers are renowned throughout the world for their high performance. Deltec use a unique patent pin wheel action which produces a water air mix unequalled to others.

As the water and air enter the skimmer pump they pass through the Deltec pinwheel. This is designed to fit within the pump housing so that very little water and air passes by it without being totally smashed up and mixed together.

Performance Instruction

In order to achieve best results for AP Skimmers, it is important to supply the skimmer with the correct amount of water and to set the water level correctly as given in the instructions.

Fit a shut-off tap into the water feed line of the protein skimmer to allow exact regulation of the water flow to compensate variations of existing salinity and water pollution.

Operation with Ozone

Deltec Protein skimmer can be operated with ozone up to a maximum of 50mg/h per pump. One air connection of the ozoniser should be connected via a suitable silicon hose directly to the air inlet on the protein skimmer pump. The air will then be automatically sucked in the ozoniser by the skimmer pump.

Should the skimmer performance deteriorate please check the ozoniser for blockage.

Safety Hints

1) Never allow the skimmer pump to run dry.

2) Before starting the skimmer pump for the first time, bleed the pump by opening and closing the air hose quickly for a few seconds.

This skimmer is a taller version of the 702 standing nearly 1m high and with a tube 250mm in diameter. The photo shows the older version of the skimmer which was based on a smaller diameter tube and cup.

The skimmer must be supplied with water either by gravity feed from the aquarium or via a separate pump.

The European AP902 is fitted with 2 Eheim pumps each drawing in 600lts of air per hour giving a total of 1,200lts/hour. This is less than for the 702 due to the resistance of the extra head of water in the longer tube however the contact time is longer.

Yes, I think it will be good if you can post a copy of the RD invoice or the pic of the RD sticker on the product for the benefit of both seller and buyer.
