What makes Nyos Quantum Protein Skimmers different from other brands?

Nyos Quantum skimmers are designed in Germany and built with high-quality materials, offering a unique balance of efficiency, quiet operation, and easy maintenance. The hybrid wheel impeller and precise adjustment features ensure excellent nutrient export and crystal-clear water.

Which Nyos Quantum skimmer size is right for my aquarium?

The correct size depends on your tank volume and bioload. The Quantum 120 is suited for smaller aquariums of up to around 500 litres, the Quantum 160 is ideal for medium-sized tanks of up to 1000 litres, the Quantum 220 works well in larger tanks of up to 2000 litres, and the Quantum 300 is designed for extra-large aquariums and advanced reef systems. If your aquarium is heavily stocked, choosing the next size up can often deliver better long-term performance.

Are Nyos skimmers difficult to install and adjust?

No, Nyos skimmers are designed to be user-friendly. Installation is straightforward and requires minimal tools, while the fine adjustment system allows for precise tuning to achieve optimal skimming performance.

How often should I clean a Nyos skimmer?

For the best results, the skimmer cup should be cleaned at least once a week, while the full unit should be given a more thorough clean every two to three months. This routine helps maintain maximum efficiency and prevents organic buildup inside the system.

Do Nyos Quantum skimmers work in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums?

Nyos Quantum skimmers are engineered specifically for saltwater and reef aquariums. They are not suitable for freshwater setups, as protein skimming does not function effectively in freshwater environments.

Why Choose Nyos Protein Skimmers?

Nyos Quantum Protein Skimmers are trusted by reef keepers and marine aquarists worldwide for their outstanding performance, quiet operation, and premium German engineering. Designed to deliver maximum efficiency, Nyos skimmers remove dissolved organic compounds before they break down, helping you maintain crystal-clear water and a healthier aquarium environment.

The Nyos Quantum range is available in multiple sizes, from the compact Quantum 120 to the powerful Quantum 300, making it easy to find the right model for your tank volume. Each skimmer features high-quality materials, a precise hybrid wheel impeller, and user-friendly adjustment controls for optimal fine-tuning.
