Suitable for aquariums up to 175 US gallons.

MCE - 600 Hang on Skimmer

This skimmer is thought by many to be the ultimate Hang On Skimmer.  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 400 liters of air per hour for maximum waste removal. This makes the MCE600 skimmer suitable for aquariums up to 235 US gallons.

Media Box for MCE 600 Skimmer
The MCE600 Media Box allows you to introduce a number of different types of biological or chemical substrates directly into the water flow from the skimmer.  The media box is perforated top and bottom to allow good water flow straight through the chamber and has a sliding lid to allow easy access to your chosen media.  It is ideal for packaged aquariums without any additional compartments for installation of further media such as carbon or Rowaphos.

 The TC name describes the special Twin Chamber design of the bubble chamber which is patented and has the benefit of pressurizing the pumps for higher performance and ensures that only unskimmed water passes through the pump rather than reskimming and reprocessing water in the chamber.

The new bubble plate design allows the height of the skimmers to be reduced compared with the current range to allow them to fit in a greater number of installations and cabinets. The primary use of the bubble chamber is to prevent turbulence from the skimmer body and neck as turbulence can pull waste loaded bubbles back into the water column causing a reduction in efficiency. The air to water ratio is so high that there is almost immediate reaction with the waste therefore there is no requirement for the tall reaction chambers found on some low air skimmers thus keeping the units compact.

• Remote drain of skimmer cup
• Air silencers
• Micro Adjustable skimmer setting
• Can be gravity or pump fed (supply pump not included)
• High water flow through the skimmer

 Deltec make a series of self cleaning heads for their larger AP series skimmers. Use of a cleaning head can increase the efficiency of your skimmer by up to 20%.

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.

Once a day, depending on the rate that the waste is collected, a 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.
