IceCap Large Adjustable Skimmer Stand 11x9in — (IC-SRS-2823)
The IceCap Large Adjustable Skimmer Stand (SKU: IC-SRS-2823) is an authentic, heavy-duty modular sump accessory distributed by CoralVue to simplify water level tuning in marine and freshwater filtration setups. Most modern in-sump protein skimmers require a very specific operational water depth—typically between 6 and 9 inches—to maintain the correct internal air-to-water pressure matrix. If your sump`s filtration compartment runs deeper than your skimmer's target baseline, the internal column pressure spikes, causing the collection cup to overflow with clean water. The IceCap Large Skimmer Stand solves this placement problem entirely, providing a solid, stable elevated platform to keep your skimming line right at the water surface.
Constructed from heavy-gauge, water-clear cell-cast acrylic, the Large 11x9 stand avoids the structural collapse or micro-fracturing common with cheaper molded plastic shelves. Its primary innovation is its Dual-Directional Flippable Leg Geometry. By shifting or flipping the modular support legs, you can adjust the platform height across six distinct intervals: 4.0", 4.5", 4.75", 5.0", 5.75", and 6.25". The stand also features an open, multi-slotted support plate that allows incoming water currents from your drain line to flow freely beneath the platform. This stops organic detritus, fish wastes, and decaying debris from settling into anaerobic bacterial muck traps beneath your heavy equipment.
Key Features
Prevents Unexpected Sump Flooding: Eliminates the primary cause of sudden protein skimmer overflows by adjusting your hardware straight into the manufacturer`s recommended depth.
Absorbs Low-Frequency Pump Hum: Dense acrylic tracking isolates high-velocity needlewheel motor resonance, dampening low-frequency resonance against the glass sump panel.
Zero-Metal, Eco-Safe Assembly: Uses a hardware-free locking layout with no metal screws, springs, or metallic rods, eliminating rust risks in saltwater environments.
(Note: This retail box contains (1) 11" x 9" clear acrylic skimmer platform plate and (2) modular interlocking height adjustment leg panels. Protein skimmers, sumps, and silicone dampening mats are sold under separate product categories).
