Deltec New Internal Skimmer Mc 500

The compact skimmer from the MC series (with the exception of the MCX 300) is mounted directly inside or outside of the aquarium by means of a holder. This skimmer the Deltec MC 500 is also good to use in the red seamax 250, you can easily adjust the compartment where the foamer is placed so that the Deltec MC 500 can easily fit into it.

The Deltec MC 500 uses the aquabee pumps, these are then converted by deltec, the pump makes much less noise and produces more foam, another advantage of this is that the foamer hardly produces any air bubbles.

Deltec is a company that has been producing Protein Skimmers for more than 25 years, and this successfully. The foams are made by hand and will last for years. The Deltec pumps have a specially loaded needle wheel, which is able to produce very fine air bubbles, Deltec also has a patent on this needle wheel. After two years of development, Deltec has now launched a new series of foams. With a self-developed pump that is extremely quiet and specially developed to produce a lot of air with low power consumption. With this, Deltec has set a new standard in the market in the field of efficiency.

To obtain a good comparison with other foams, Deltec has put a new term on the market. The ETA Ratio [energy to air ratio] translated into Dutch means the flow-to-air ratio. The new foams have an ETA Ratio of 60 on one, which means that at 25watt the foamer produces 1500ltr of air per hour, compare this with the old model the converted Eheim. It consumed 36 watts and supplied 600 liters of air. This is a huge improvement.

The foamer is constructed in such a way that it is impossible not to let water that has already passed through the pump again. Only the polluted water is sucked in. This is due to the patented double chamber technology. This has given the foamer 40% more capacity and has also become a lot lower compared to its predecessors. Because the foamer draws in extremely much air, there is also immediate results.
