Pumps/Filters

This compact and energy-efficient pump (28 W, max. 8000 l / hour ) makes it possible to move water in a saltwater aquarium like in the real sea. Water transports not only thermal energy, oxygen and CO2, but also waste products. The more the aquarium water is mixed, the more stable the water parameters in the aquarium are and the easier it is to adjust the used filtration equipment, such as the skimmer.

Filtration in Saltwater Aquariums: The Role of Skimmers

Skimmers are essential for filtration in saltwater aquariums, where they remove proteins excreted by microorganisms, invertebrates, and fish. These efficient and energy-saving devices are effective at removing fine particles and suspended solids while also aerating the aquarium water.

The sera marin Protein Skimmer PS 130 is a particularly compact and space-saving skimmer, perfect for nano aquariums up to approximately 130 liters. Like its larger counterpart, the sera marin Protein Skimmer PS 200, it is equipped with an integrated, energy-efficient air pump that automatically draws in and mixes air with the aquarium water. Both models can be easily attached to the inside of the aquarium with an adjustable clamp, and the air and water flow rates are easily adjustable.

For aquariums up to 400 liters, there is the sera marin Protein Skimmer 400 HO, which can be flexibly installed as a hang-on skimmer or as an external pump under the aquarium. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for aquarists transitioning from freshwater to saltwater. For larger aquariums up to 600 liters, the sera marin Protein Skimmer 600 S is available, specially designed for installation in a sump filter and easy to use.

sera marin Protein Skimmer PS 200: Efficient Filtration for Saltwater Aquariums

In saltwater aquariums, skimmers play a crucial role in filtration, constantly removing proteins excreted by microorganisms, invertebrates, and fish. These powerful and energy-efficient skimmers effectively filter out fine particles and suspended solids while enriching the aquarium water with oxygen.

The sera marin Protein Skimmer PS 200, slightly larger than its predecessor, features an integrated, energy-efficient air pump. This pump automatically draws in air and mixes it with the aquarium water. An adjustable clamp makes it easy to attach the skimmer to the inside of the aquarium. Both the air and water flow rates can be easily adjusted for optimal performance.

Electronically controllable external filters for aquariums up to 1,200 liters

The sera UVC-Xtreme, available in the 800 and 1200 performance models, are efficient and energy-saving external filters of the latest generation.

Thanks to the integrated amalgam UV-C lamp, the service life is extended by 42%, and performance is increased by more than 52% compared to conventional UV-C. This removes approximately 93% of germs and algae from the aquarium. The electronically dimmable performance can be adjusted to suit your needs, making the filter particularly energy-efficient. Even at 5 watts, the pump delivers high performance. Thanks to continuous ventilation and optimized flow, the external filter is exceptionally quiet. With only a 24-volt DC power supply, it is also very safe. The automatic priming pump bleeds the filter at the touch of a button, making manual priming or pumping unnecessary.
