IceCap Small Skimmer Stand (7in x 6in)

IceCap Small Protein Skimmer Stand — 7" x 6" (SKU: IC-SS-S76)

The IceCap Small Protein Skimmer Stand (SKU: IC-SS-S76) is an authentic, solid-cast acrylic height-elevation platform distributed by CoralVue to unlock peak performance and consistency from high-efficiency internal protein skimmers. Modern needle-wheel protein skimmers rely on a delicate internal balance of air and water pressure inside their body chambers to form a stable foam neck. Sump compartments are frequently baffled to depths between 8 to 11 inches, which is often too deep for compact or space-saving nano skimmers. This excessive water pressure results in flooded skimmer cups or inconsistent skimming action. The IceCap Small Riser solves this by elevating your skimmer base to its optimal manufacturer-recommended water depth, ensuring consistent, dark skim-mate extraction.

The primary design advantage of the IC-SS-S76 is its Dual-Sided Structural Layout. The riser is meticulously engineered so that it can be flipped over to provide two distinct fixed elevations. Depending on which face rests against your sump floor, the platform securely lifts your equipment by either 3 inches or 4 inches. Unlike makeshift blocks or loose grading alternatives that trap decaying debris, this riser features an open, smooth arch frame. This allows moving sump water to sweep through the structure continuously, preventing localized detritus traps. Complete with non-skid rubber feet to prevent equipment migration on slippery glass, this clear riser keeps your filtration running smoothly.

Key Features

• Locks in Peak Skimming Adjustments: Elevating your equipment isolates the skimmer body from daily evaporation water fluctuations, keeping your foam line consistent.

• Stops Annoying Sump Vibrations: Integrated rubber feet act as structural shock absorbers, capturing continuous needle-wheel pump vibration before it turns into loud cabinet noise.

• Virtually Invisible Sump Integration: Crystal-clear cast acrylic styling lets light pass through seamlessly, ensuring your sump remains looking clean, modern, and uncluttered.

• (Note: This retail package includes (1) fully assembled, dual-sided 7" x 6" Small Skimmer Stand. Protein skimmers, collection cups, and auto-waste collectors are sold under separate categories).
