| From the successful Turboflotor 5000 series it was developed powerful these protein skimmers for cabinet installation. They close the gap between the Turboflotor 1.000 multi for aquaria up to 500 Liter (150 gal) and the Turboflotor 5.000 baby for aquaria from 1.000-2.000 Liter 250 (500 gal). The Shorties are manufactured in 2 sizes to fit into most aquarium cabinets. Like the larger models, they are supplied with a venturi pump and our patented needle wheel. The pump takes the water from the skimmer and mixes it with air in the pump housing. The needle wheel ensures perfect mixing and very fine air bubbles. The water supply to the skimmer requires a second pump with a capacity of minimum 2.000 l/h (500 gph). The skimmer may also be directly connected to the overflow of the aquarium. In this case it is recommended that a bypass be installed to control the water flow to the skimmer, especially if powerful return pumps are used. Technical Data: Total height incl. foam cup 62 cm
