IceCap K1-130 Protein Skimmer

IceCap K1-130 Compact In-Sump Protein Skimmer (IC-K1-130)

The IceCap K1-130 Protein Skimmer (SKU: IC-K1-130) is an authentic, master-crafted marine filtration assembly distributed by CoralVue to deliver commercial-grade protein skimming into confined under-cabinet sump setups. Mechanical filtration like filter socks or roller mats can only trap solid suspended debris, leaving dissolved organic materials from heavy fish feedings and metabolic wastes to accumulate and degrade water quality. The K1-130 acts as an efficient water purification system, utilizing an advanced air-induction framework to physically bind, concentrate, and remove these dissolved organic compounds out of your marine ecosystem entirely before they can impact coral health or spike unwanted nutrients.

Master crafted from robust cell-cast acrylic and high-quality PVC, the K1-130 is engineered for long-term submersion in high-salinity marine environments. At the heart of its performance is the efficient IceCap EVair 400 Pinwheel Pump. This low-voltage driver draws air through an integrated silencer and shatters it against an optimized needlewheel impeller, filling the 5-inch reaction column with a thick cloud of micro-bubbles. To minimize the horizontal space footprint common with standard external pumps, IceCap packages the pump cleanly within the skimmer body base. Managed by a unique pipeless gate valve layout, this skimmer provides quiet, splash-free discharge completely below the operating water line.

Key Features

• Maximizes Organic Waste Extraction: Pulls dark, concentrated waste out of the water column, lowering biological oxygen demand and supporting optimal water clarity.

• Ultra-Sensitive Pipeless Tuning: Horizontal control dial offers incremental gate height adjustments, allowing you to seamlessly dial in a dry or wet foam level.

• Reef-Safe Structural Materials: Built with entirely non-conductive, corrosion-proof components to ensure zero chemical leaching inside sensitive marine reef environments.

• (Note: This retail box includes (1) K1-130 skimmer body, (1) collection cup with lid, (1) integrated EVair 400 pump, an inline air silencer, and a flexible collection cup drain tube. Automated waste collectors and skimmer stands are sold under separate product categories).
