High-Performance Pump
Each AquaReady ConeS Q-1 skimmer is powered by an Italian-made Sicce pump with AquaReady’s proprietary needle-wheel impellers. This specialized ‘Shark’ pump pulls in more air and breaks it down into ideal bubble sizes, whisking away protein and organic waste for optimal water clarity.
Designed for the Hobbyist
AquaReady’s skimmers are crafted with durability and ease of use in mind. The advanced bubble chamber and hybrid-cone design work together to stabilize flow, enhancing skimmer performance and ensuring smooth skimmate collection. The built-in air intake silencer keeps operation near-silent, while rubber feet minimize noise and vibration.
Easy Setup and Maintenance
The AquaReady ConeS Q-1 is easy to install, operate, and maintain. The collection cup features a handle for simple removal and cleaning, while the compact outlet design minimizes height requirements and allows precise adjustments. Built from premium cell-cast acrylic, this skimmer is both durable and reliable.
