NEW! AquaMaxx WS-1 In-Sump Protein Skimmer

The highly-rated HOB-1 skimmer is now available in an in-sump version!

The AquaMaxx WS-1 Protein Skimmer features an incredibly responsive collection cup and an amazingly powerful submersible pump. It is rated up to 65 gallons in a design thin and light enough to be placed in a nano aquarium, all-in-one style aquarium or other small saltwater system.

The AquaMaxx WS-1 Protein Skimmer relies on a superbly crafted Italian Sicce Syncra pump and AquaMaxx needlewheel impeller to vigorously remove waste from your fish or reef tank. Sicce pumps are well-regarded for their efficiency to move air and water. Combining these dynamic pumps with AquaMaxx protein skimmers saves users considerable energy.

Will this fit in an IM Fusion 40?

The WS-1 has a footprint of 5.9x3.2.. Unfortunately, the 5.9" length would be too long for a Fusion 40. The CAD Lights PLS-50 would be a good option.

Would this fit in a CAD Lights 34G Mini II?

A better question is how much does it stick out of the back of the 34G Mini II?

AquaMaxx posted a pic of a hobbyist using a WS-1 in their CAD Lights 34 gallon Mini II. It links to a another message board, so I'll just link to the FB post so you can check out both:

Unfortunately, the only spot in the back of the JBJ 45g that the WS-1 would fit is in the return chamber, which is not the ideal place to have your skimmer.

Will this fit in a JBJ 28g Nano, in one of the chambers?

We are pretty certain it does not, unfortunately. You might consider the new HOB-1.5 as an alternative:

I have been using the HOB-1 for 2 year now and it's been reliable along with easy maintenance on my 38 gallon mixed reef.

For something slimmer, how about Reef Glass?
